Will you talk about your daughter more? The one still on Gallifrey?

“I don’t deserve Arcadia.  It’s most simple.  For whatever reason, however, she’s accepted my offer to be her mother again.  My wife found her and brought her to the Citadel.  She never obtained her regeneration cycle, but I don’t count her a failure.  It wasn’t her fault she didn’t finish at the Academy; she was thrust young into the Time War.  She has the eyes I had when she was loomed: an intense and jeweled blue.  And her father’s ginger hair.  She is quiet, and ferocious, but she holds it all in.  There is a joy and a playfulness that come out, though, when the two of us work on her telepathy lessons. Because you see, she also inherited my prodigal gift for telepathic manipulation.  I wonder if she knows how proud I am.”

Tell us about your other wife. The dark haired one. (because that unique amd beautiful relationship is my life rn)

“Ahhhh I see.  I shall give you tidbits from which to extrapolate facts.  One.  She is the Lady President of all our damnable planet, and we ease her itch to wander with occasional ‘state visits’ to other quadrants of the universe, just the two of us.  Two: About ten months ago, I serenaded my wife drunk beneath the balcony of our citadel bedroom, and she had to come outside to stop me from pitching right down some stairs.  We ended up singing together like howling dogs at the top of our lungs.  She’s never been more beautiful. Three: we have a one-year-old daughter named Celesia, towheaded and blue eyed, and she has my nose, and I would die, kill, and live for her.”

Master, you’re a Time Lord. You constantly remind anyone that cares that you’re above human compulsion, emotion, weakness of any kind, yet you’re scared of telling the one you love your feelings because you’re scared he doesn’t love you back. Like you’re beyond redemption. Listen to yourself! There are thousands of humans who have said the exact same thing! And you think your faults are greater then theirs in retrospect to THETA? Bullshit! Why don’t you just get TELL THEM ALREADY? (C)

The Master arches an eyebrow at this unsolicited onslaught of sanctimony clad in the guise of “tough love.” 

For an uncomfortably long interval, he stares.  Not a muscle moves from his precise and frostily detached place of examination.  What a fascinating protozoan this person is. 

After thirty seconds which feel like thirty years, he glides aside and gestures at the Doctor, puckish and blond, short and fine-boned and elf-faced and thoroughly female. 

“As a matter of fact,” he drawls, swallowing a guffaw, “have you met my wife?”

“Good heavens.  How terribly awkward for you.”  

Worst decision you’ve ever made/almost had to make ?

image

“ … twofold.  One: the day on the Valiant that I chose to die, rather than join the Doctor in his pretense of ‘keeping’ me.  Seeing it as tantamount to a prison was short-sighted.  It would have been a partnership.  He was ready. I was the one who fell short that day.  My need to make him feel what it had been to be abandoned by him eclipsed my screaming longing to be at his side.  And then I made the same damned mistake on Mondas.    But the other decision that I regret was leaving behind my daughter on Gallifrey, eons ago, to chase the Doctor to Earth.  I had just regenerated from my first Time Lady face–yeah, heh … surprised Missy wasn’t the first? I don’t talk about my days of motherhood often … . anyway, I had just regenerated from her, into the face that antagonized the Doctor’s third face.  What a time that was.  And yet she never knew me. I left my girl behind when she was still an infant.”  

( I spotted the choice ask and just had to ask this ) If there was ever a case , as implusible as it is , were you did lose them , what would you do ? .

“I can’t answer your question, because if the Doctor died, there would not be enough of me left to exact an effective action of any kind. Except to annihilate. Yes. I suppose I would expend my last days taking revenge on the universe for continuing to exist after the Doctor was gone.  I would destroy all of matter, all of creation, because she was not there to bear witness to it, and therefore, it no longer had the right.  Because it … !”

He ducks his head, grinds his jaw, and gasps something resembling a mangled laugh.

“It failed her. It FAILED her. WE failed her.  I would kill the universe and then I would cannibalize myself because nothing deserves to exist if that light is already extinguished.”

What is your biggest regret ?

     “  … . walking away on the Mondasian ship. In fact, all of it. All of it.”

Denying myself the person my whole being was screaming to belong to, just to prove that I was unconquerable.  

     “No matter what happens, I’ll forever be the one the Doctor
      couldn’t reach, that one time when it really mattered.
