He had seen the Master before, always at a great distance, and somehow he had always doubted that it was really him. He was so different from most of his previous bodies. The Doctor fought at the front, killing Daleks, protecting bases and trying to stay alive. He had little time for meeting the generals but sometimes, when he looked up, he’d see him, gliding smoothly about the battlefield, in impeccable armour and his wings shining with clean feathers.

Somehow, the Doctor was glad that they didn’t meet.

Besides, the man-who-was-so-much-like-the-Master-but-wasn’t never approached him or showed any more interest in him than in any other soldier, so the Doctor assumed that it was just wishful thinking and paid no attention to him.
