Action! - Master and Fifth Doctor

[celerystyle]

[The Doctor nips out of his cabin and gives a brisk knock on the Masters door]

Master? How are you keeping in there?

[He listens for barking from within.]

[Once little Lucy begins to yap, the Master's torn between swatting her out of sheer annoyance, and rewarding her for being such a good little alarm. He stares at the little beast for a moment, then gives her a dismissive pat on the head-- that's about as much affection as he'll offer, and the dog seems to eat that up, her entire body positively wriggling with excitement. Pah! The creature has no dignity at all!]

Just fine, Doctor. Just fine.

[He opens the door and offers a grin, which really just makes it look like he's up to something]

Are you after something in particular, or were you simply eager to see me?

[The Doctor smiles back, making a point not to allow himself to get paranoid.]

I was just wondering how you and Lucy were holding up.

[As he enters he gives Lucy's head a nice thorough stroking to greet her.]

Well, that and I was wondering if you'd thought any more of what you'd like to do when you get out of here.

[soundof_drums]

She's a pest.

[He looks down at the dog, prepared to give it a small kick, but stops as it licks his shoe, wags its tail some more, and bounds off. How... perplexing. The Master stares after the little creature for a bit, then walks over to his desk. He ignores the Doctor's question for now.]

Care for a drink, Doctor?

[celerystyle]

Nonsense, she's lovely.

[The Doctor walks a little further into the room, he considers taking a seat, then decides to wait to be invited one first.]

No thank you, Master. You are being careful with your diet now aren't you? I mean, I know you've been human before, but... I still imagine it's a tricky adaption to make.
