It was an extraordinarily gorgeous day even for fake New New York. The Master and Doctor had taken over a corner of Central Park to try to gather together cricket teams, from visitors or natives, whoever knew or was willing to learn the basic rules and play. Captaining opposing teams, of course. The easy banter back and forth indicated high, good spirits.

	He watched Koschei for a long moment before he asked, "Should I be afraid of you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He slowly turned to look back at Jason. "I'd rather you weren't. I don't mean you or anyone else at this gathering any harm. There's a number of people here I'd go to great lengths to protect or support. There are other times in my life, possible paths my life could have taken. People I was or could have been. Some of them, you should be afraid of." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jason's head cocked a little further, not unlike the wolf he sometimes was. Then he nodded and stretched out his legs, crossing them at the ankle. "Martha mentioned one," he replied. "I think one of the people you could have been, using the same title. One who had hurt her and the Jack I'm closest to here. I think the fact that go by Koschei rather than the title says a lot about you."

	"Rejecting my title entirely feels like a lie to me, but there's a reason I introduce myself with an older name," he agreed wryly. "Martha...has good reason to be afraid from one my alternates. I think your Jack and I have worked things out between us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Good." Jason relaxed a lot. Sure, this one had already met Jean-Claude, but knowing he wasn't the one who scared Martha made him feel better about bringing him to see Jean-Claude again. "And no, I wouldn't expect you to reject it entirely. It's part of you, no matter what else you are now. And I'm a pretty big proponent of accepting yourself, the good and the bad."

	Jason nodded, wrinkling his nose. "I know way too many people who specialize in both. It doesn't work well for them, either, but they keep trying." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is there anyone is does work for?" he speculated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-05-17 09:08 am UTC (link)
	"One," he said after a moment. "Though I'm not so certain it works for her as she's just so damned stubborn and used to it that finds a way to make it work." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	themasterreborn 2009-05-17 10:06 am UTC (link)
	He grinned. "That sounds like the Doctor." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-05-17 10:07 am UTC (link)
	Jason paused, thinking about it. "No wonder the Doctor drove me a little crazy and I still liked him." Said something about Anita, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pomme_de_sang 2009-05-17 12:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Anita. She's..." Jason paused, frowning slightly. "It's hard to explain. But the Doctor does remind me of her a lot." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He grinned and nodded. "Oh yeah. She's just mostly in the middle of figuring out that the world isn't as black and white as she used to think it was." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Jason nodded again. "Yeah. She thought for a long time that vampires, at least, were all evil and ruled by their baser instincts. I'm not sure if she thought the same of weres. She's never mentioned it to me." His grin widened. "Though, when we first met, I doubt she would have gotten the impression otherwise. Still. Black and white. Good and evil. Humans and others."

	"Humans can be provincial, willfully ignorant, and ruled by fear," he said blandly. "Not that my own people weren't that, quite often." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pretty much," Jason agreed. "She's getting better about it, though." When she wasn't running off trying to get her head together and making things difficult for everybody around her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jason shook his head. "No. It's only me and Jean-Claude from our world here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Very much so," he agreed. "It's a bit of a pain, honestly. We're doing the best we can, but it's not easy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No, of course not," he said quietly. Life long rebel or not, he knew intimately through the loss of Gallifrey what it pain loosing what you were used to was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
