The more the Master talked, the more the horror of the implications sunk in. The horrible, terrible sadness of it all. He stared at his hand on the Master's chest because it was easier than to see that false happiness for even a second longer. He finally turned his head away, slowly pulling his hand back and tightening it to a fist. "Let's go to the TARDIS." They had to leave this planet. Happiness patches couldn't last that long, he reckoned. If he just waited until the Master's ran out, he'd not have to be the one to take it from him. He wasn't sure how much more guilt he could bear.
"You... Don't be mine. Be your own person. I wish that was enough to make you happy."
"It is. But you won't let be my own person, idiot. Remember? I was a bad boy, now I have to be on a leash," the Master pointed out as he linked his arm with the Doctor's, barely seeming to acknowledge the sadness on the Doctor's face. It was all one happy blur of nonsenses to him. He was fine with all of this, it was the Doctor with the problem. Playfully, he snagged the bag of candy floss to finish it up, happily shoving bits it in his mouth as they strolled along.
"I wasn't going to be happy about it but look, I fixed it. In my infinite genius. Oh yes, still top of the class, Doctor," the Master bragged as he tossed the empty bag over his shoulder, turning to look at the Doctor. "I thought you could make me happy just being you once. I wish it still worked like that but we're not young wistful children now, Doctor."
Besides, this was a nice feeling. A constant tingle in his hearts. "Lets go somewhere fun next!"
