06; I'm taking it slow [feeding my flame]

[The Master appears on the plane looking rather displeased, of course, that is quite a timid way to put it after the time he's had here since being so graciously released by their hosts (torture, the Valeyard and monkeys, oh my!). He looks around, jaw clenching and unclenching as he pulls the hoodie he is wearing over his suit off and puts it over

[the Doctor spots the Master from a ways away, but doesn't say anything yet. just...follows him to the bar and quietly closes the door behind him, then spots the hoodie. he speaks softly, calmly, in Ceressian]

You really should leave the hoodie out of the ensemble. Doesn't do you any justice. [which is so not what he wants to talk about, but hey, small talk works for a reason]

[best_served_hot]

[he glances over at him briefly, pouring his drink and taking a long swallow from the glass as he regards him coolly. he is still speaking in Valdemarian--call it an experiment.]

I am so very grateful that you've decided to tell me that. It shows you care.

[sarcasm, we're sure, translates well in any language.]

[bit_impossible]

[yeah, he definitely gets that tone... he sighs and comes over to the bar, sitting down on one of the stools]

Listen, I know we didn't get a chance to talk in the library, but there's something you really need to hear.

[best_served_hot]

[he refuses to speak what the Doctor can obviously understand.]

Because we have oh-so-much to discuss. We've had busy schedules lately, you and I.

[and pointedly begins to walk away from him to the opposite end of the bar.]

[best_served_hot]

Has it really? Isn't that wonderful. [No, he doesn't really expect an answer to that.]

So, you can understand me while I'm speaking this--[he suddenly switches to Ceressian.]--can you understand this as well?

[best_served_hot]

[Valdemarian it is then!] I suspected it might be. I must apologize for my lack of manners, it's been a rather trying day.

I am the Master. I don't believe you and I have met.

[lovethepossum]

...Not Again.

[Her ancestors ancient language angers her, okay? Don't judge.]

[best_served_hot]

[he's still speaking Valdemarian.]

Don't sound so excited.

[lovethepossum]

...I don't know what you're saying.

[She still looks terribly excited. Go her!]

[best_served_hot]

[no noticeable reaction. okay then, let's try Ceressian.]

Can you understand this? Because if you can't, I won't be going through the trouble to draw pictures or make wild gestures.
