[He's always been good at controlling his outward appearance, so the Master doesn't look as upset as he really is. Still, there's quiet anger turmoiling just beneath the surface. A fury that barely contained. Only his eyes betray this, if you look hard enouigh.

The blood soaking his dress shirt and the two bulletholes in the chest area of it add a bit to the look.]

What an unfortunate week. We'll all just move on from it, lest it become a game of just who acted more idiotic, hmm?

Private to the Eleventh Doctor // Unhackable

Happy to get all of that out of your system, aren't you now?

How's the Johnson & Johnson working out for you?

Fuck off, Sonja. I am not in the mood for you right now.

After all the time we had together? I'm hurt.

I'll tell you this again simply, love fairy: fuck off.

[He's normally not one for cursing, but god he's in a bad mood.]

[She could easily lean over right now and inform the Master that all that horse-shit she learned in the event about the Doctor caring about him is still true. She could do that, and let the Master know that nope, his gay crush doesn't hate him as a person.

She could. It would be easy. It would take no effort from her.]

Ten-four.

[Click.]

[Someone is very, very delighted that you're alive again.]

Lord Saxon! Thank God you've come back sooner rather than later! Are -

[She pauses. Of course he isn't all right.]

Are you in need of anything? I could try to mend and clean your shirt, if you would like. Or make you something to eat.

[And she's just grinning.]

I am happy to see you again!

[He looks a bit...awkward, really.]

...Juliet. ...Thank you, I suppose. This shirt is beyond mending, sadly.

[She looks him over carefully.]

I suppose that it is. Dinner, then? Or at least a snack? We have eggs now - Tybalt and I caught a chicken some weeks back. It was most difficult, but we managed to snare a hen in the end.

Hm. [He really just wants to be left alone to brood now, but... Well. In any other case, he'd flip the person off and tell them to leave him alone. But this is Juliet, so.]

A snack might be nice, yes.

Of course! Please, come and visit, if you will, and you are welcome to anything in the larder.

[x,y]

Tybalt is out at the moment, and Bubbles - I know not if you saw last week, but she has gone.

[Her smile falters at that.]

I'll be there shortly.

[He turns off the PCD, pausing before deciding that a bath is in order first. Once all the dirt and grime is off of him and a change of clothes is gotten, the Master strolls out of the house, to the coordinates given to him, and knocks on the door.]

[Juliet has spent the intervening time going through the kitchen to see what they had that might suit. There is still an egg from the hen out back - hard-boiled, and she has some of the jerky Ray still gives them, along with a bit of late-season fruit - mostly berries that she has managed to find. When she hears the knock, she flies to the door, grinning.]

Lord Saxon. I am so glad to see you safe and sound again. Please, come in.

[She curtsies formally, then steps aside for him to enter. Once he is indoors, she reaches out to take his hands in a less formal greeting.]

[He nods, walking in and...well, just standing there again.]

I have to say, Juliet, there was a certain appeal about your ferocity last week.

[She flushes slightly at that comment.]

I - I could not abide how horrible everyone was treating you, Lord Saxon. But it is not normally in my nature to be so - so bold. Such anger is usually found in my cousin.

[She shakes her head.]

But it seemed as though there was a conspiracy against you last week. Even people whom I do not think you know tried to tell me you were not a good man. It makes little sense to me.

[She gestures to the one comfortable looking chair in the great room - Tybalt's chair.]

But come, sit, and I shall bring you something to eat. I do not have much, but I will gladly share what I do have.

I'm not a good man. Still, they have a terrible attitude against me, do they not? All the Doctor's friends, of course.

[He chuckles, moving to sit down in the chair.]

[She shakes her head at him.]

Have I not told you before that I shall hear no one speak ill of my friend? Not even the man himself? You have been a very good man here, regardless of what has happened in the past. You have been a dear friend to me.

[She disappears into the kitchen for a moment, returning with the tray she'd arranged while waiting for him, and sets it on his lap.]

It was not only the Doctor and his friends, Lord Saxon. Mr. Spencer said the same, and he knows you not, save through watching the little machine - he told me so himself. He even tried to imply that you -

[She shakes her head again.]

Why people whom I know not well at all wish to tear me from your company, I do not understand.

At this point, I'm not even entirely sure.
