A short burst of exposition, but needed to clarify a few things before the story moves on. The next phase of the story takes us (finally) outside that little white room, and pushes us back into the Master's insane domination of Earth, so adding this just backs up a few points about the Master's mental state to bear in mind as we move on.
Sometimes I get so far into my characters' heads that I forget that some things need to be explained. To me, the Doctor and the Master - their connection and what goes on in their heads - is so clear that I feel like they should be self-explanatory. Adding little snippets like this amends that problem to an extent.
While I have an extremely firm grip on my plotline, and know almost definitely where I want it to go, details of the scenes grow in my head slowly. When the scene's finished in my head, I get the urge to write it down immediately. This is why this scene is so short (sorry about that), since the scene after this one hasn't developed. I would rather post a short, well-developed scene than struggle with a long, unplanned one.
See you all next chapter!
