“Are you her? DO tell me you are. Oh, it’d be delicious that I stumbled across the Doctor’s most super-powered contraband Companion.”
There’s something undeniably charismatic about the Master’s voice, something terribly charming about his comportment and his convivially intrigued face.
“am i ‘her’?” well this is NEW. not the whole ‘bein’ recognized by total strangers’ bit — she got MORE than enough of that working with unit. being referred to as the doctor’s ‘most super-powered contraband companion’ on the other hand… that one set off a few ALARM BELLS, though the charisma &. charm that exuded from the man certainly did its part to try &.offset that.
what sort of person referred to a companion as contraband anyway?
“ gonna have to be a bit more specific than THAT, mate. ”
“HehHAHHHH!”
The Master applauds Rose–be it her spunk, her wit or her existence that spurs this, one cannot be certain. But he radiates satisfaction.
“You are. You absolutely are Rose Tyler. Oho, oi, you and me, mate, we’re a pair of blondes with brown eyes, and look, the aesthetic’s on par. Lots of glam, heavy eye makeup, I’m living the dream right now. I’m this close to incorporating pink into my wardrobe because of looking at you.”
He offers a hand smugly.
“If you’re as dear to the Doctor as she says, you’ve heard of me. I’m the Master. Congratulations on being you. Because I like you, and I can count the people I like on the fingers of one hand.”
