Delayed exploration
Who: The Master, Open
What: Exploring the castle properly
When: A day or so after being released from the Valentine's Day event
Where: Starting with the kitchen
Rating: G-PG
The Master knew the importance of being familiar with his surroundings. Normally, he would do extensive research on any planet that he intended to visit. Before landing, he would know where the safest shelters were, who was currently in power, who was seeking to take power, and who could be either bribed or coerced most easily. The Master always made sure to place his TARDIS somewhere that he could get to easily, for a quick escape.
Now, however, his TARDIS was completely out of reach and the Doctor himself had assured the Master that escape was impossible. No one seemed to be in power and few people seemed willing to change that fact. Bribery and coercion were still useful tools, should he need them, but only once he got to know the residents better. Likewise, his knowledge of the Castle, outside his bedroom, was almost nil! Other than lacking his TARDIS, this lack was the most unacceptable situation and, fortunately, the easiest to fix.
On his arrival, the Master had been told more than once that the kitchen was on the first floor. That seemed a reasonable place to begin his explorations. The Master wasn't particularly hungry, but decided he might as well examine things closely. This was a Castle with deep secrets and the Master intended to dig them out, one by one.

"My people are those who choose to obey me," the Master informed her, coldly. "Gallifrey accepts only those who embrace it's stagnant nature. I choose to live, not merely exist. In any case, displays of sentimentality will not save it."

Well, she has changed it a bit... She tries.

She said it as a statement of fact, because it is. The part that ties him to Gallifrey is the part that makes him a Time Lord.

OMG sorry for all the typos in that last comment, I knew what I was talking about :P
:D S'okay.

She smiles a bit fondly at the mention of the Doctor, "Popularity on Earth? Perhaps. But on Gallifrey? You know as well as I do he is less than popular. Besides, while he might be able to impress other species, you and I both know the man is an idiot."
Okay, so now she's using her diplomacy to get the Master on her side, there are reasons why she's President, after all.

"Yet, he's been made Lord President himself, more than once, I believe. If you think the Doctor is an idiot, then you are a fool. He is a bit misguided and far too fond of morals, but his intellect is almost without equal," the Master lectured, a bit severely.

"My dear, I've known him almost my entire life. Believe me, I'm not fooled by him a bit. The Doctor got poor marks, because he doesn't do well in institutional settings. He has too many issues with authority figures. As for the Matrix," he stopped, laughing under his breath, "no, you can't trust it. Do you have any idea how often that thing has been tampered with and editted?"

She doesn't sound upset by the Master's reproach, though.
