"It was different with him, remember?" he said quietly. "Back in the day? He was all rage and wonder and drive and we were like... dust caught in the tail of a comet and it was exhilarating." He looked across at Rose. "I understand what he is and there's something awe-inspiring about being pulled into his orbit. Running with the last of the Time Lords: the last of the last of the great ancient powers. On him that sort of arrogance is expected. Probably necessary, actually. Even sort of endearing." He shook his head ruefully. "You've become so much like him now." He studied her a moment. "We were equals before, but you don't think of us that way anymore, do you?"
