005; corpse

Mr. Tyler? That loud, insulting fellow was a friend of yours, yes?

I'm afraid he's... had an unfortunate end. I came across his body just a bit ago and - well - as you are a friend, I expect he would have liked you to have his corpse?

[stares at him for a long moment, and then looks away, a hand over his mouth. He turns away, looks up, holding onto his mouth to stop any noise from escaping. He buttons up his shirt, drowning himself in the obsessive mindless neatness. His fingers are not shaking. Then he vanishes all together off of the astral plane, returning some time later with red eyes that are swollen from rubbing at, and his jacket hanging over his arm] Where?

[he portrays genuine empathy, but he is an amazing actor, he can feign whatever he wishes]

I encountered his body on the Astral Plane, not too far from here.

[he pauses, sighs, and shakes his head]

You've my deepest condolences. ...I think one of the monsters that are going about may have gotten to him - I cannot be sure. He-

[he continues to act as if he is capable of empathy]

[it's too much for Sam, who saw the smile as the Master killed Gene - he spins around and grabs the Master by the lapels, snarling] I saw you! I saw you kill him, so don't you dare pretend at that with me!

[takes a step back, nearly stumbling over his own feet. He can't look the Master in the eyes] Just tell me where.

[he hisses instinctively at being grabbed before regaining composure] Then you are mistaken. I have been quite busy killing those things in my own world, and only came to this plane to drop off a jewel.

[he steps away as well] This way, then.

[and he begins to walk at a clipped pace]

[gives him a dark look, but follows beside him, until he spots Gene's body. He stops, eyes locked on the body, and then runs over, dropping to his knees and touching his Guv's face] Stupid bastard. [Sam bows his head again Gene's chest, body shaking, before he recovers himself and stands. He rubs his eyes again and nods curtly to the Master] Thank you. I'll take care of it from here.

[he nods as well]

I am deeply sorry about your friend.


I'll go now.

[and he leaves]
