As the Doctor snapped at him, the Master did not flinch, didn't speak and only listened to his words. An emotionless façade formed upon his face as he looked to the Doctor just watching him. Yet hearing his growl caused the newly regenerated Master to arch a brow, a slight tilt to his head as he looked to his dear Doctor with dark near demonic maddening eyes. He should have known this would happen, his head snapping to the side after being struck by the Doctor. Slowly his hazel hues followed the Doctor and slowly a smirk curled upon his lips. Oh how he missed this bantering back and forth. [i]'He still holds sensitivity in his hearts... even now..'[/i] hearing a yell, the man blinked "A new catchphrase.. heh. Still prefer Allons-y... ah well... new face, new personality..." the Master had to really admit it to himself; the Doctor actually had it in him to strike the Master. That... actually impressed Koschei as he smirked. [i]'I might be able to tolerate this… regeneration of the Doctor'[/i] there was a rumble and a thrash as the TARDIS took off.

Slinking his way over he plucked a fish finger and took a sniff of it before glancing to the bowl of custard. Dipping the fish finger he coated part of it and then took a bite and began to chew slowly. At first, the Master thought he was going to gag at the taste. But surprisingly, he didn't. Granted it wasn't amazing, but then again it wasn't all that horrible. Finishing the fish finger the Time Lord dug around the cabinets and found it, a bag of jelly babies. Tossing a few into his mouth the Master headed out of the kitchen and headed toward the main console room of the TARDIS. Making his way up the stairs he neared the Doctor "new catchphrase… new favorite food.. new everything it seems" he chuckled and stepped near the Doctor. His arms wrapping around the man from behind "I think I can get used to this version of you…" the Master took in the Doctor's ever so familiar scent, the scent that always comforted him. The Master's lips placed a trail of kisses up the Doctor's neck toward his ear "Even now. We still bicker, and banter as we did in the old days" he pulled the Doctor's frame closer, burying his face in the Doctor's neck. "Oh my Dear Doctor" he whispered against the man's flesh "What would I be without you? Even now you seem to keep me from succumbing to my inner demons. and for that I thank you." yes his drums were painfully rattling within his skull but at this moment? The Master was able to push it aside to the back of his mind and focus on the Time Lord in his arms. "[i]My[/i] Dear Doctor" the Master wasn't one to apologize, so in a sense, this right here was his apology.
