[RL - Master and Ten, Valentine's Virus~ Cardiff at first but hey, who knows where this'll end up.]
The Doctor leaned on the railing, tapping idly on the metal surface. He'd been in Cardiff for the past few hours but hadn't actually done anything. It really was odd. Ever since the day had began he'd felt agitated, as if he was waiting for something.
He'd parked the TARDIS over the Rift, since a little pitstop had never hurt anyone, but about an hour in he'd got bored of feeling agitated and on edge inside the TARDIS. And so he'd promptly gone out and spent his time feeling agitated and on edge outside the Cardiff Millennium Centre instead.
So here he was, standing and watching people go about their business. Something was going to happen soon. He just knew it.

He made sure to appear in an out-of-the-way location, but when he did spot the Doctor... he waited, and just watched for a while. He was pacing, fidgeting, running his hand through his hair and looking about... there was something strangely touching about that. The Doctor waiting for him. He took it in, wanting to savor and remember it.
Finally the Master ambled over to him and smiled, perhaps a little bigger than he may have meant to.
"Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
((SCRIPT FORMAT IS A-GOGO.))
"Not really. Well, not unless you count about five hours as waiting too long...?"
Re: ((SCRIPT FORMAT IS A-GOGO.))
"Five hours?! You... actually waited that long?"
[He can't help but smirk at this a little.]
"Omega, did you not have anything better to do?"
((WE COULD GET RID OF THIS TITLE NOW IF WE WANTED TO, AMIRITE?))
"Yes, and no, not really. A pit stop seemed as good as anything, and if I'm honest..."
[Okay, rubbing the back of his head here. Slightly]
"Well, no. Nothing to do. Didn't really have anything in mind."
no subject
"Why am I not surprised..."
[And why do I feel so damned shy? This isn't right... He bit his lip a little and looked back up.]
"...You've any idea why we've been driven to meet here?"
no subject
"No idea, I'm afraid."
[Frowns]
"I'm saying that far too much these days, aren't I? Still, since we're here... What now?"
no subject
"I don't feel like torturing you, for what it's worth..."
[adds quietly]
"...Which is rare."
no subject
"I should hope not. Torture's not really that high on my list of Ways To Spend My Day."
no subject
"No, I suppose not... could've fooled me with some of the scrapes you get into, sometimes."
[Cue awkward silence. He moves to lean against the railing next to him and fiddles with his cufflinks.]
"We're supposed to be here, together. Doing what is another matter... perhaps it's a joke of the gods."
no subject
[And have another small silence while he contemplates that statement.]
"Well... since we're here... we ought to think of something to do. So. Unless you actually want to stay in Cardiff?"
[Um yeah still making absolutely no attempt to move here]
no subject
"I've been away. Rather nice to get back to civilization... well, Cardiff's relative civilization. Anyway. Erm..."
[Leeeeans back on the rail. Something's coming to mind, but he's not sure he can say it. He winces. Oh, just suck it up.]
"...S'good Chinese close by. Maybe we could... Um. Or, y'know, you could just fuck off and I'll go by myself. I'm all right with that too."
no subject
"Chinese sounds good! I mean if we're going. So... lead the way I guess."
[Awkward? Him? No...]
no subject
"If you chicken out of this, I'll fucking glass you."
[He laughs. It's a joke... ]
no subject
"You say that like you're expecting me to chicken out."
[Completely disbelieving smile here.]
no subject
"I wouldn't put it past you! You've fooled me far too many times, and you were never one for drink besides."
[Cheeky grin]
"In fact I remember you sicked up the first time we drank, didn't you? That wont happen this time, right~?"
no subject
"That was a one time thing."
[And you guessed it - to prove his point he takes a sip from his own bottle]
no subject
[Laughs and keeps munching]
"That was years ago anyhow, centuries even. Maybe this body can hold its drink... Rassilon, I can't even remember which one I'm on."
no subject
"Mmm. Maybe. I wouldn't really know."
[Incidentally, Doctor is munching on Peking Duck, simply because that is what the mun is craving right now.]
no subject
"You mean you never test the limits of your own body? Part of the fun of regeneration, really. I do it every time."
[Rolls the bottle in his hand.]
"I can down... about four of these, four or five, before I get pissed. 'Course I tend to prefer hard liquor..."
no subject
"You would though, wouldn't you? Besides, something tells me I'm gonna end up testing it now..."
no subject
"All in fun, of course~"
[Pokes at Doctor's duck with his fork]
"Mm, gimme a bite of that..."
