Doctor Who Ficlet

For a prompt on the Obscure & British Commentfest 2015, that wanted Ainley!Master and Delgado!Master comparing notes. I'm setting this during the Master's miraculous and unexplained escape in 'Planet of Fire' for the Ainley!Master, and casting him back to a point after 'Frontier in Space' for the Delgado!Master but before his degradation into Crispy!Master in 'Deadly Assassin' and 'Keeper of Traken'. Um. After that, I'm making shit up as I go?
