The Doctor didn't have the energy to, and if he was honest with himself, he was more than a little surprised to find the Master moving close to him. It reminded him of their youth, of when one of them would become frightened during his sleep (usually the Doctor) and the other would come and lie down with him to comfort him (usually the Master).
It was as if the Doctor were in the middle of a horrible nightmare and the Master had come to comfort him again.
There was no warmth from the Master's shoulders, the naturally low body temperature of a Gallifreyan sparing them from that cliche, but there was the presence of the Master's energy, melding into the Doctor's.
"Have you ever seen the Medronica cluster?" he asked. It was something he might've said when they were young and staring up at the stars.
