You're a Dream Among the Sharks

"So, where are you taking me Doctor?" the Master huffed as they began to climb Mount Perdition.

"I want you to meet someone," the Doctor replied, wrapping his threadbare coat tighter around him, "come on, he lives pretty far up."

The Master groaned, "It's our day off and you're taking me on a hiking adventure."

The Doctor snorted, "Aw, but hiking is fun.  I come up here all the time to see him."

The Master frowned, "When is that?" The Master was unaware that the Doctor had a spare moment without him.  And he found this new awareness unpleasant and decided to eradicate it as soon as possible.

"Oh, you know, when I'm not in school or with you, this is where I usually go," the Doctor picked his away along the mountain's rocky carapace.

"Don't you ever go home?" the Master asked, scrambling after him.

The Doctor felt his anger rising, but he swallowed it down, "I'm not… wanted there," he said evasively.

"What?  Not wanted?  You?" there was something almost… caring… in the Master's voice.

The Doctor turned back to him, grinning.  The Master realized what he'd just said, "Well. not that I… I mean… doesn't matter to me where you go."

"Uh-huh," the Doctor laughed as they continued their ascension.

The Master snarled, frustrated with himself, he'd walked right into that one.

"Almost there," the Doctor announced breathlessly, the air was starting to get thin, and the wind was starting to whip in a stinging way.

By the time the Master reached where the Doctor had stopped for breath, the Doctor's knees were knocking with cold.  The Master grimaced at him, "Why did you bring a warmer coat?"

"This is all I've got," the Doctor confessed.

Feeling an unusual feeling for him, pity, the Master unfolded his fur cloak and wrapped it around the Doctor, hanging one arm around his friend's shoulders.  

The Doctor smiled up at him, grateful, "Thanks," he said.  Normally the Doctor didn't accept charity, but when it came from a friend, especially this friend, it wasn't charity.

"Here we are," the Doctor said, having reached a cave where the snow started to cap the mountain.

"A cave?" the Master deadpanned, "You brought me all the way up here… for a cave?"

"Doctor?  Is that you?" a voice called from within.

The Doctor grinned smugly at the Master, "Not just a cave, Master," he replied, dragging him inside.

"Mmm… thought it was you," the person continued talking, cooking over an open fire, "and you must be the Master."

The Master raised an eyebrow at the Doctor as he drew away to greet this personage.

"Hello sir," the Doctor grinned, "Yeah, this is him," he confirmed, blushing slightly.

The personage looked up from his cookery, staring straight into the Master's eyes, almost seeing through him to the cave wall behind him, "You hear the drums," the person muttered.

The Master watched him closely, glanced at the Doctor questioningly, but the Doctor shook his head, he hadn't said.

The person in a tizzy flew about their cave mixing all sorts of things inside the stew pot much to the confusion of both guests.

The Doctor drew back to the Master.

"Who is he?" the Master asked.

"Just a hermit… never told me his name, but he said, told me the first time I met him, that… that I would bear witness to impossible things."
At LOOOOOOOOOOOONG last...

Yeah, I know, it was quite a wait, and for that I apologize, but as I constantly begged, there was little to none information on the Hermit and I was hoping to do a lot more with him, but... instead I just filled it with random!fluff and strangeness.
