"Shh.. Theta… please my Darling.. conserve your energy.. the more you talk.. the faster your .. yo-" he couldn't finish his statement, the realization of it all was far too painful for him. "I will take care of t he beauty.. don't worry" he caressed the Doctor's face, wiping away the blood from his lips "just.. please.. Theta… stay with me" he begged as tears streamed down his face, golden glowing tears as that. Leaning in he rested gazed into the Doctor's eyes "I love you too, I always have, I always will" he kissed the Doctor's lips. It would seem to the Master for a moment that his beloved Theta had truly passed on. Upon that realization, his hearts threatened to stop. Slowly the shade of vibrant glowing golden eyes faded to hazel green "Th-Theta…." The Time Lord clenched his teeth together "Theta!!!!" he held his beloved time Lord in his arms as close as he possibly could. The Master was inconsolable at this point as he sobbed, not releasing his Doctor. Holding the fallen Time Lord in his arms as he rocked their bodies together "Theta" yet in the middle of his break down, he sensed it. He hadn't failed, Theta had received the energy it seemed that it had taken Theta's body longer to register it. The Doctor was alive, but in a coma. A smile tugged at his lips "You're alive… oh you lanky man with a chin I could kill you…" he sighed and leaned in kissing the Doctor's lips before picking the Time Lord up. Carrying him to the bedroom where he laid the man down, giving him a clean change of clothes and tucking him bed. Yet it seemed that breaking apart one of his regenerations, as well as the battle and the emotional chaos the Master had gone through. His body too was weak as his legs gave way beneath him. The man pulling himself close to rest with his head near Theta's hand as he let sleep take over. -- Nearly seven weeks later, the Doctor still hadn't awoken, it was normal, the Master himself had been through a healing in the past so it did in fact take time. In that time, the Master spent his time in the library reading, playing one of his old violins that… somehow the Doctor had gotten a hold of. It was one of his favorites that the Doctor 'insisted' it went missing. Yet now it was proven that the Doctor had lied and kept it within the library. In a sense, the Master was joyous; his Doctor was alive and recovering. On the plus side, the Master had his favorite instrument. The Master sat in the main console room, he'd actually gotten into the habit of holding conversations with the TARDIS which was …unlike him. But ever since everything that happened with the Doctor, he felt.. truly grateful to have even been given this chance to save him. The Master sat in the console room, playing his violin as he closed his eyes focusing on the beautiful yet still dark tone to it. Some things never changed. It would seem that there was a different hum in the TARDIS for her hums no longer matched the his music. "…" he stopped mid note and slowly set the violin down "… is he awake?" with that he took off in a mad dash.

You literally were reborn from death….. but you're alive" a smile tugged at his lips "and I am ever so grateful" tucking the Doctor in bed the Master leaned in to kiss his lips "Now rest, My Love"
