The Doctor stops in a spot before getting to the fire entirely. Himself still mostly in the darkness. Someone feels like he's seeing a literal ghost. Of an old friend. And enemy. One of The Doctor's lives is so, so, very sorry they weren't able to save one of the future faces of The Master, during The Time War.
Ten waggles his tongue in thought. How to go about this? Considering, The Doctor knows that The Master won't know this future face of The Doctor here. Their telepathic link is cut off. Unless, Ten, who has regained his telepathic/psychic chooses to engage that link they can share.
The Doctor's stomach twists though, about the story beginning. The Doctor isn't proud of what the Time Lords did. Part of a reason, The Doctor is glad he's befriended, Alice, who is a vampire. And Alice is a decent person, outside of being a vampire.
Cautiously, The Doctor steps into the light of the fire. Then stands for a moment, observing the other with his hands in his pants pocket.
There's so many things that The Doctor wants to say now. Mainly, how he's sorry, how they acted when they were younger and trying to kill the other. The Doctor of himself just as guilty of it as The Master. The Doctor didn't value to try to save The Master, after all.
This is a very well dressed man in front of The Master. Blue pinstriped suit and pants. Tie. Sneakers. And lanky. Very youngful in his facial appearance. Despite his actual age. And being older than the face of The Doctor The Master knows. If you ask, Ten, a much better nose now. Still - working on the ears.
Slowly sitting down, listens to the stranger's tale. Pretending, he hasn't heard this before.
Still the same Master. And asking to stop and think about power. Somehow, can't help but beam at that. Then again, it's been an awfully long time, since they've seen each other.

"Yeah, sorry. What's a Yss- whut?"
Definitely, a new voice.
The real question is - when is, his friend-enemy?
