I do not own Doctor Who, that right belongs to BBC.

"So," the prisoner drawled, "What information do you want now?"

Rose ignored his question, "I'm having you moved. You are going to be staying at the Tyler Manor. Do you have any objections?"

"Hmm," the Master hummed, "Why?"

"I don't trust Torchwood to not dissect you while I'm not here."

"But I thought you were one of the big bosses here, wouldn't they listen to you?"

Rose rubbed the bridge of her nose in exasperation, "Yeah, but I don't control everything, and they don't always listen to me. Some of our people want to do tests on you and probably will if they are given the chance. So, I'm not giving them that chance."

"So, the Tyler Manor? I didn't know you were rich,"

"'M not. My dad is. He's the current head of Torchwood and the creator of some health drink." She pushed her hair behind her ear, "Anyways. I'm having you moved in an hour. See you then."

She pushed a button on her desk and his guards entered the room to escort him back to his cell.

"See you then!" He winked at her.

"So, this is the room my mum said you can use," Rose gestured into the bedroom from the hallway, "Hope it suits your needs, blah blah blah. Behave or I might let the scientists get a hold of you."

He surveyed the room before giving his slight approval.

"Well, dinner's in an hour if you want to join us, but that isn't necessary. I'm pretty sure you could go three more days without food." She offered him a change of clothes, "Are you gonna have some weird fashion sense? Like wearing leather, or big coats, or long scarves or something like that?"

The Master gave her a weird look before laughing, "I can't believe I didn't see it before! You were one of Thete's little pets, weren't you?"

She just smiled instead of getting upset, "If by pets you mean companions then yes, I was. And I can honestly say that I expected you to have realized that already."

"Yeah, well, I've been a bit occupied with the little apes that have been poking and prodding at me, wanting to dissect me." He made an excuse.

"Humans, not apes," she corrected absentmindedly, "But I would have thought that your 'Superior Time Lord physiology' would have allowed you to connect the dots while being poked and prodded as you put it," He glared at her, but she ignored it, "Now if you come to dinner you need to behave yourself. My mum dislikes you already 'cause you're the same species as the Doctor and will slap you if given the opportunity."

He snorted unbelieving, "Yeah, of course."

Rose stopped him, putting a hand on his shoulder, "I mean it. She slapped the Doctor when he brought me home a year late, that was before she knew who he was but she never liked him and he never got over it. So behave, I won't protect you if you do something stupid."

"Fine, I'll be a good boy. Happy?"


"That was horrible, your mother is horrible!" Master exclaimed once inside his room, rubbing his swollen cheek.

Rose snorted, 'Oh please, you were the one who insulted her cooking. She doesn't normally cook, you know. Made dinner just for you. And you insulted it."

The Master gaped at her with mock offense,"Well I'm sorry, I didn't know that. And there was too much garlic in the sauce."

"It was perfectly fine. And even if that was true you shouldn't say so, I know you don't understand the concept of having manners but it was rude."

"Hmph, I'm a Time Lord. Our taste-buds are much more refined than you silly apes, so I can tell you for sure that your mother needs to work on her cooking. And if I didn't tell her she wouldn't know to fix it. So I was doing her a favor," He defended himself.

Rose just shook her head in exasperation, "Whatever. I'm going to bed. Please don't burn down the house while I'm sleeping, Kay." She exited the room.

"Fine,"he grumbled, "Go waste half of your life doing nothing at all,"

Rose poked her head back in the room, "What was that?"

"Nothing, just that you humans waste so much of your short lives on your circadian rhythm. Kind of wasteful if you know what I mean," He answered.

"I normally don't sleep as much as other humans, just so you know. I haven't slept since you arrived. So I need to recuperate. G'night."
