Svetlana is happier than she has been in a long time - unexpected trips in the TARDIS and tea will do that to a person, it seems.

Naturally, this is when she spies who she thinks must be Molokov (Sam's never dressed that way in the times she's seen him0. She offers him a very faint smile and a murmured greeting in Russian.

The Master realizes immediately who she thinks he is, and chuckles softly to himself before answering. "I'm not Alexander Molokov, I'm afraid."

"Oh!" She flushes, embarrassed. "I am so sorry. Please forgive me. You look so much like him. It's very disconcerting."

"It's perfectly fine," he says, with a smile to reassure her. "It's happened before, and I don't mind. We're quite close, Molokov and I."

"I see," Svetlana says, as neutrally as possible. If he is as close to Molokov as he says, then clearly he is to be avoided at all costs and humored until an escape can be made otherwise.

"And what was your name?" he asks delicately, still with that perfectly innocent smile.

She hesitates briefly, but if he is truly acquainted with Molokov, then he would know if she lied. "Svetlana Sergievsky."
