[night has long since settled over Gallifrey and yet he doesn't retire. instead, he leaves his rooms and makes his way to gardens in his section of the residential quarters. there, amongst several other Gallifreyan flora planted there, are several silver-leafed cadenwood trees, their leaves glittering and reflecting a warm burnt orange and red, offset by the few lights still left on in nearby quarters. by his watch, he has an hour before the first sun starts to rise up over the Mountain of Solace. he settles himself against the base of the tree, deciding not to have a seat on one of the nearby sofas. no doubt he'll be joined by others wishing to watch the sunrise, but most Time Lords wait for the second sun to rise. he, selfishly, prefers to watch both.
while he waits, his thoughts return to the Plane and he mulls over his previous explorations and encounters there. too many things--too many new things--for this stuffy Time Lord.
and then there's that forest. what would his beloved cadenwood trees look like there without the magnificence of Kasterboran suns? no doubt they'd still overshadow the ones there in their silvery brilliance, but would some of their magic be lost?
to test this, he enters the Plane, bringing the one tree with him. unfortunately, he isn't anywhere near the forest, though he can see it in the distance--but still... he glances up at the silver leaves now twinkling in the light of the millions upon millions of stars in that place and grins. smugly, of course.]
Better than that forest any day! Just as I thought it would be.

[the Master actually strokes the tree's trunk. Well done, Master]
You realise you're going to have a small army of nostalgic and depressive Doctors clinging to this, I hope.

Even a thing like you can an appreciate this tree's beauty, I see. How very surprising, indeed.

Excuse him, he needs to stare in awe. He supposes that it isn't terribly surprising. Gallifrey isn't gone everywhere. But it's a sight he hasn't really seen in...a long while.
He puts his hands against it and pushes. Yes, it's real. It feels more or less like how he remembers they felt. It's so surreal that he laughs and shakes his head, bowing it slightly.]
