The Master gives him a look that suggests how far behind he is in his universal history reading. "No, the opposite. The Time Lords never interfered, they only watched. They were guardians. There hadn't been a war on Gallifrey since..." His eyes go –searching for red grass– glassy. "Well. The Daleks fixed that."
He supposes he can't blame him for wondering. But then, to people who weren't Time Lords, the whole "companion" thing –all it takes is one, just one to see you through the whole way, to believe and enjoy the same way you do– was hard to explain. "No, just amusing that the idea crossed your-" –my– "-mind." Don't people normally feel awkward at either end of a one-sided relationship? Oh, that's right. He's a sociopath. No danger there, then.
He still isn't sure that the understands this whole business with this woman. "So you have to answer to her because she had something that you want? Shouldn't your Amazing Powers of Darkness prevent that from being a problem?"
