He's not running. He's walking, he's walking the pace of a man incensed, enraged, hellbent on destruction and chaos. He's a man wronged, and someone is going to have to pay for it.

It doesn't matter to him who it is, or how he'll do it. Someone has to pay for all of this.

He should have known better than to trust in something foolish like 'affection' or 'love' or anything of the sort. He was being played all along, he meant absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.

Perhaps that was what enraged him even more, even if he had no proof that he was right.

His hearts leap when he sees him, but that'd ridiculous, he's not some schoolboy, but then he might as well be, the way he'd fouled everything up - no, he's just going to walk, go faster, try to call out.

"Koschei!" His voice is weak, raspy, and he tries again, and again, even as he tries to run.

Lucy has no such luxury. She can't call out even if she wanted to, which she's not sure she does, not in this case. She can't even really say why she's running after the Doctor; this isn't her spat. It's the Master playing at spurned lover. But it is her fault, and she does feel a degree of vindictive satisfaction at it--this is what happens when you try to shut Lucy Saxon out--but that's dampened by the concern she feels for the Doctor.

She doesn't want to upset him, doesn't want to see him hurt, and she knows he's both right now. So she's going after him. Isn't that what companions do?

He stops at the call of that name, and all he can think of now is he hates hearing it. He doesn't want to hear that name and he certainly does not want to hear it from the Doctor's mouth. He's never been the most stable - such an abrupt change is easy for him.

It doesn't mean it hurts less; he just masks it with rage. So when he speaks, his voice reflects it - and he makes sure to speak loud enough that he can be heard.

"That is not my name, Doctor." He practically spits the title out as if it were a curse. "You will not use it again to refer to me."
