Mouth Shut and Eyes Wide Open

Just because he doesn't say much doesn't mean Turlough can't see what's right in front of him. Written for the Doctor/Master Unfest on Dreamwidth

MOUTH SHUT AND EYES WIDE OPEN

It honestly shouldn't have surprised him that Turlough would be the one to figure it out. The boy might not talk a whole lot, but all the while he wasn't talking, his mind was taking in everything around him.

"So," he said to The Doctor, after the whole unpleasant affair with The Master masquerading as King was over. "You and him go back a ways, don't you."

There was something about the tone of his voice that made Five look at him, but he simply had that inscrutable smirk on his face. "We were in the Academy together. I once considered him my best friend."

"I'd wager you considered him more than that."

The Doctor simply stood there with his mouth open as Turlough walked away.
