Thank you! Yeah. Classic Time Lords are rather removed in demeanor from their very first appearance; that doesn't really ever go away even after they turn into backbiting politicians. And while One shows signs of missing his home in The Unearthly Child and Three seems to have a moment of genuine regret over the loss of his school days friendship with the Master, the Classic Doctors all seem to me to give an air of not really knowing what it feels like to lose something he values. At least not until Five, and it comes down on the too-much-to-bear side of the line for him, I think, so he regenerates. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the drabble.
