The Master looked over to River when he heard her voice. Cautiously, he approached her, spotting that she had brought him the food he had requested. He just had to hope she hadn't poisoned him. And if she had... well he was as doomed as he would be if he didn't eat. He was running low on energy and he needed to take the chance.
He reached out for the tray, his hearts racing in his chest as he snatched the thing from her hands. It didn't matter that a few small things fell to the floor. He'd still eat them once he was done with what was on the tray. And so he placed the tray on the floor and crouched down, eating ravenously.
"You said you might be able to help me..." he said between mouthfuls.
