Yes, I know you're bored, but there's hardly anything I can do about it is there? Why don't you go and work on some of those applications, that'll keep you busy.

[It's sort of impressive how he can sound so condescending without taking his eyes off the wiring.]

Look, I'm terribly sorry but I've got my hands full at the moment. This temporal transponder won't fix itself.

[SIGH.]

If you insist on being a bother, go and fetch us some tea will you? There's a good girl.

Now there's a face I haven't seen in ages.

[velvetdandy]

I'm sorry, who are - oh. Oh it's you. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see you, considering the sorts of places this young lady frequents.

[Have a once-over, Master. It is you isn't it?]

What on earth have you done to your hair?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Don't take that tone, Doctor. Just because I'm crazy and dangerous doesn't mean we can't still be friends.

And I quite like my hair this way, so don't knock it.

[velvetdandy]

If I recall, it was crazy and dangerous that caused our differences in the first place. Still, it is quite refreshing to see you acknowledge it.

[Eyebrow raaaaiise.]

Although less refreshing to see you participate in outdated Earth slang. 'Knock it'? What does this regeneration think it is?

[ofdrumsthesound]

Don't get used to it, the Master in your time is still ages from admitting it even to myself.

The sort of person who enjoys maniacal laughter, among other things.

[unit-girl.livejournal.com]

Why don't you ask nicely, Doctor? 'Please can I have a cup of tea' works much better than 'fetch us some tea'.

omg Joooooooooooooooooo 1/2

[velvetdandy]

Now Jo, I understand the sentiment, but really, you haven't met this girl. Up all hours, knocking things about all over the place, can't make up her mind, always interupting right in the middle of something important -

[OH WAIT THIS SOUNDS A BIT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE WHO HE ACTUALLY QUITE LIKES WHOOPS.]

oooooooooooooooooooo 2/2

[velvetdandy]

[Have a sheepish smile because he has missed you so much Jo.]


On the other hand, I suppose it doesn't do to be rude. Although it should be 'Please may I have a cup of tea', Jo, don't forget those A-levels of yours.

[unit-girl.livejournal.com]

[She giggles]

Oh, I didn't do English.

Your mun isn't sending you somewhere you'll be stuck, is she?

[velvetdandy]

Yes, well, I'm not sure it would have made much difference. [But it is very affectionate teasing.]

To be honest I'm not sure what she intends to do with me, Jo. One moment it's the sandbox, the next she's looking at games that, well. Frankly, I don't think they're appropriate at all.

[He leans down and grins at her because he doesn't want to make Jo worried at all.]

Now, how about yourself? Is your mun treating you all right?

[unit-girl.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. I don't think anyone would dare treat me badly.

There are lots of games that I think would be inappropriate. Tell your mun from me not to consider them if you won't like them.

[ex_fourmidable296]

Now there's a face I haven't seen in a long time!

[velvetdandy]

And won't for a good time yet, I should hope! What do you think you're doing, poking around here?

[ex_fourmidable296]

I'm poking around of course, what else would I be doing?

[his_sarah_jane]

Oh, Doctor.

[There's a bit of a laugh and a bit of a wistful note in her voice.]

Honestly, when are you ever going to learn?

[velvetdandy]

Well, they say you can't teach an old Time Lord new tricks. [Actually the phrase is something along the lines of 'you can't teach an old Time Lord new tricks unless you take him in the moment of regeneration and reprogram his genetic sequence', but he doesn't think she'd like to hear that.]

How are you, Sarah Jane?

[his_sarah_jane]

[She snorts.]

I don't believe that one bit. Do give yourself a tad more credit, will you?

[But she's smiling.]

Oh, I'm quite well, thank you very much. Still travelling, you know. Although, I suppose if my writer has her way, I won't be for much longer.

[velvetdandy]

Yes, well. [Smile.] I suppose I might be able to master the odd new skill, as it arises. Not that I expect you to be propping up my ego, Sarah. In fact, it's usually quite the opposite.

[Worried frown.]

What has she got in mind for you? You will be taken care of, yes?

[his_sarah_jane]

Taken care of? I'll have you know, Doctor, that I do not need to be taken care of. And it's not as if I've never been there before.

It's a world by the name of Paradisa, which, well... is anything but.

[headstronger]

I don't think that's going to work on her either, Doctor.

[velvetdandy]

Perhaps you're right. The attention certainly isn't persuading her to leave me alone. She still hasn't gotten me that cup of tea, either!

Still, you never know until you try your luck.

[headstronger]

You might be biting off more than you can chew. Muns depend quite a lot of attention from what I've seen. She might take you away from your temporal thingy and put you in a game instead.

[velvetdandy]

Oh no. No surely not. I'm sure she knows far better than that, why, she hasn't got the concentration for it!

[He's getting quite agitated at this thought.]

No, it would be far more sensible to leave me be, let me get the TARDIS all back in working order.

[Suspicion.]

You haven't been giving your mun too much attention, have you? I've not heard one good thing about these games they play.

Late, but I couldn't resist!

[brainsinboots]

Would you like some help, Doctor?

[And no, she isn't talking about making the tea.]

This is over a week late but I just saw this and couldn't resist.

[willobeyme]

Can you never do anything for yourself, my dear Doctor, or must you rely on your pets for everything?
