The Master shrugged. "I'd like your company sometimes. There aren't many people here who trust me in the slightest, as you might guess. The various Doctor's around - all of those I've met- have eventually taken me in stride, but every conversation with one them ends up being difficult somehow. Your back up, if something threatens us here, that needs to dealt with. But I think I already had that. I like that you demand answers from me, and listen to them, and sometimes give me good advice. Also, I still think you're hot. But, I'm certainly not expecting any thing on that front, it would just be nice. I'm fond of a hand to hold, as you may have noticed. But really, I'm not demanding any from you." He gave Jack a sly grin, "I can demand, if you like."
