016 [video, backdated to Saturday]

[The Master isn't quite looking at the PCD when it turns on. Currently, he's laid up in a bed in the clinic, bandages wrapped around his head and various parts of his body, including his neck. Cuts and bruises litter his skin, and he's looking incredibly worse from the wear. His eyes are hardly focused, as well, and when he speaks, he doesn't even look at the screen yet. His voice is quiet, hoarse even.]

Whoever decided it would be...a funny idea to attack me? ...Big mistake.

[With that, he looks at the screen, gaze hardening for just a brief moment.]

I will find out who you are.

[He goes silent as he looks away and gets that far-off look again. It's fairly obvious that his body wasn't the only thing just recently damaged. After several moments, he reaches over, fumbling for the PCD and turning it off.]

Of course you will not. You will continue to be good and helpful, as it is your nature. But your friend, the Doctor, surely he can change? He can become better? All men, be they humans or Lords of Time or - or - Keronians like Kururu - all are capable of change for the better. This I believe most strongly.

My nature-- You don't know the half of--

[No. He can't say everything, of course.]

Change never sticks in the end. Even if we both change, it'll all end up to hell, whoever's fault it was that time around.

You are correct, Lord Saxon, I do not. I know what I have seen and experienced of it in this place, and I know what you have told me. But you have said you are nine hundred years old, and a few months' time is so little compared to that. But from what little I have been privileged to see of your character, I think I have the right of it.

[She smiles at him.]

I do not believe that. If there is an error on either side, it can be mended. Tempers flare and die. There are things said in anger that are not true. But such things can be made right. You would not keep trying as you do if you did not believe that as well.

You are... quite the person, Juliet, you know that?

[He really isn't used to anyone talking to him like this, anyone being this kind and sweet and all that. Of course, it's only because he's been lying to her this whole time. Not about everything, but obviously about his whole...being a murderous psychopathic genocidal bastard thing.]

That is most kind of you to say, Lord Saxon.

[She curtsies.]

I ought to consider myself lucky.

[She smiles at his words.]

I feel much the same.

Have you need of anything, Lord Saxon? I - I will bring you something, if I can. A bit of paper, a bit of fruit? I would offer books, but you have read many of the ones in the library, if I recall.

[You are one of about four people she'll venture out alone for right now.]

[He waves his hand.]

Better if you stay indoors right now.

If you think it best. Sango has told me much the same. But I shall come and see you when the madness falls away, and you are recovered somewhat.
