Working with Koschei was strange, to say the least. Quite depressing a lot of the time. Sometimes he felt as if he was watching from the outside, not even really there, just that disconcerting experience of the Master not being the Master, of his friend coming back from a past that seemed to be so far behind him that it didn't even feel like part of himself anymore. It was however also incredibly invigorating, awakening feelings in his hearts that he had all but forgotten about. It was complicated and sometimes he found himself just leaning against a table in the lab, staring off at nothing or staring right at Koschei until he managed to snap himself out of it.
But even so, they worked together quite well. The Doctor had begun to understand just what Koschei was getting at and he was fairly certain that it would actually work. The faster the better, because no matter how torn he was on the subject on an emotional level, he definitely knew on an intellectual level that it should be resolved as fast as possible.
"Looking good, don't you think?" He swiped his finger along the phial he held, sticking it into his mouth for a taste. "I think this should work."
The Doctor was strange, that was certain. It wasn't anything specific, not really, just general things. Like the way he stared like a zombie at him sometimes, which he was pretty certain wasn't intended to be half as creepy as it actually was. Or the way he suddenly and inexplicably became sad and would randomly sulk. Honestly, Koschei was starting to see perhaps why he and the older Theta fell apart.
As he continued to fiddle around with the cables on his end of the device, he paused slightly and turned to the Doctor, a small look of achievement on his face. Okay, yes, Koschei did find the Doctor insane to a degree but he also did adore the praise he got from him. Even if it was all won with the most sober of looks.
"For the most part, yes," Koschei agreed as he offered out the circuit he'd finish with a raise of his eyebrow. "Lemme just fine tune your half."
Well, it was okay but this was his mind. He wanted it to be of the highest quality.
