You're getting impatient. It's all right, we all do. But, while you're waiting, yes, go ahead and go back. Watch my beginnings and get a better understanding of them. There's plenty there, so go and have all those adventures with me. I hope you have fun. I am so very old now, after all.

You better get started.

Thank you.

Don't thank me yet.

It's a good start, isn't it?

*He grins.* Now then, what have you got to eat? I'm starving . . .

I can have whatever you want, so long as it isn't pears...

Somehow I don't think you'd let me eat people.

Of course not; that's barbaric. And you're going to be civilized. That's the whole point of this, so no eating people.

Okay, okay. *He sighs.* Sorry, it's been one of my . . . well, not a coping method exactly. But a not-doing-even-more-damage method.

Find another not-doing-even-more-damage method. Something preferably peaceful and nonviolent.

I haven't blown anything up in ages--mostly given up torture, too. That's doing pretty good, all things considered.

I'll stick to normal food for now. And I'll be good until I can't stand it anymore. But I won't let the drums turn my brain to mush because you can't stop being a hypocrite. There's a reason I let myself go rather than be trapped with you, back on the Valiant; I was afraid you'd let the drums burn out my mind sooner than you'd let me sooth them.

*He sighs and runs a hand through his hair, then brightens.* Pizza?

[There's a look in the Doctor's eye that confirms exactly what the Master is saying, confirms all his fears as truth. It lingers as the Master talks, even sticks around when he inquires about his next meal.

He's got to believe there's a way to bring this Time Lord peace without bringing harm to others. Without that hope, he's as good as alone. And maybe that's for the best, in the end, if they can't do it. But for now, he's got to believe.]

Pizza it is, then.

*He looks a bit sick when he sees that.* You would, wouldn't you? You'd let me die, let me die screaming for the sake of your self-image. Even though I'm fighting them as hard as I can.

I've never been good enough for you. Never never never never. Why am I the only one who can't have any faults, hmm? Why is it that a thousand years of torture isn't a good enough reason for you to cut me a little slack? You destroyed our world, your actions caused the Council to do this to me. Accept that I'm broken beyond repair and use that.

*And then he's sobbing, curled up in a little ball and pulling at his hair.* When your 'help' winds up lobotimizing me, will you give me a cozy chair and a telly to watch? Will you talk to me and hold my hand and rock me when I start to scream?

Oh Other I'm so hungry

[The Doctor stands quiet, listening to what the Master has to say and then replying with a sadness about him, the same one as the look he had before.]

I'm sorry the Council did this to you. I am truly sorry. And I will keep true to my word of searching for your peace, for a way you can be without violence. But if you give up on me, if you swallow yourself up in self-pity and in pain, I can do nothing for you. Promise me you won't give up, and I'll promise you I won't either.

I'll do my best. But please, please, if there really are no other options . . . if there are no other options, I don't want my mind to be eaten away. If I must be violent then let me be violent. I'll minimize it, I'll use it for the best. Just until we find something better.

I won't hurt you. I won't hurt anyone who travels with you. But there are plenty of people who we'd all be better off without, and until I can stop being one of them I can make the others go away.

If you can allow enough in the mean time to keep me sane, I'll search with you all our lives if need be.

No.

I can't allow that. I just can't. There are times when I have no choice but to drag danger where I go, but if I can help it, I do my best to. And if you truly can't help it, then perhaps we can work something out. But until then, until you reach that point and can handle it no further, you will shut your trap and deal with it for the sake of others. Suffer for them, suffer for all of those you have yet to hurt, suffer for their sakes! Take a moment and think about what it's like for them before you kill or eat or harm!

It's what you could never understand, Master. What it's like for those people who die in the crossfires, in the moments of weakness. You don't understand why I have to do this, do you? You don't understand how easy it'd be to just rid the universe of all those unjust with you by my side, with you as my weapon. It would be far too easy. And we were never meant to have that type of power. I refuse to wield a weapon so deadly as you.

[This is when he kneels. Right in front of the Master, he kneels on one knee and props the other up so he can rest his arm against it. He looks right at the Master's face, with eyes intent and focused and ice and fire and rage.]

If it comes to choosing between becoming your wielder and letting you die, I'll ensure the former never happens. But I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make sure I never have to choose between the two. I will find a way out, a way for you and for me and for the universe where we can all co-exist without the pain that echoes throughout your mind.

I can last a month or two at least. I had my kind of fun just the other day, I don't have to do anything just yet. I'll be able to cope for a while.

When the time comes, we'll see. For now I'll survive.

. . . food now?

[And that's enough for him. It's enough for the Doctor. Enough to know they have time that they can use to their advantage.]

Pizza now, yes.

[The Doctor stands once more, extending a hand to his fallen once friend.]

Come on, then, get up.

*He takes it and stands, a bit wobbly.* Love ya, Thete.

*And off they go to the pizza place.*
