He smiled then, actually smiled, it was a good feeling that came from thinking that the Valeyard was scared of him. He knew this already, of course, but it was better to hear it. "He tries to hide it, but I've known for a while."

The Master watched him, taking in another breath, and trying to ignore the seconds counting down in his head of the time they didn't have. There were things he didn't know that he would need at some point. Information was hard to come by.

"Do you know anything about how he brought me back?" he asked, voice quiet still. He wasn't going to bring it up, but he didn't know when they would be able to talk next; it would help him.
