Bigger on the Inside (Drabble Project, Day 109)

[were_lemur]

Doctor Who, the TARDIS, the Master, the Doctor, all ages, not mine. She can afford to show kindness to an enemy.

When her Thief brings the Master aboard, she's determined to make his life miserable. She rearranges the corridors, forcing him to wander for hours to get to the next room, and makes his shower either scalding or icy.

But on days when his drums are especially bad, she'll relent. If he wants to be alone, to shout and pound on the walls, or curl into a ball and sob, she'll hide him. If he needs to be comforted, she'll guide her Thief to him.

She can afford to show kindness to an enemy. After all, she's bigger on the inside.

See, now, I think TARDIS would be just that kind of maternal --- no nonsense, no shit-taking but a huge heart that can't stand to see anything suffer. Very lovely. (Pssst -- the TARDIS community blueboxlove may like this one.)

this is awesome. Love the Tardis taking pity on the pitiful Master.
