"He'll be happy to know that I've already resolved all my issues." He had killed his father rather thoroughly, after all. Not that he wasn't aware of being far from 'fixed'. Stable, though, he was fairly sure he was that. Most of the time.
"Barty, you're a great guy and everything but your issues aren't resolved," the Master remarked, looking exceptionally amused. He wasn't criticising, hell he had issues that never went away too, that was just part of life. Especially for men like them, who didn't exactly lead simple or normal lives. "I've seen you at your worse. No matter what you claim, you have issues. Nothing to feel bad about."
Baggage was part of the human experience. And he rather liked Barty's, made him more destructive. "On the plus side, you seem more -- sane? I don't know. The tongue thing has definitely been tamed back."
Of course, now that it was pointed out, Barty's tongue did touch the corner of his mouth in a quick flicker of movement. Maybe on purpose, maybe involuntarily. Whichever it was, Barty smiled at the Master, shrugging. "A lot less reason for agitation here." He had left rather a lot behind, after all.
"But if my issues don't hinder me, I consider them mostly resolved. Just makes me more interesting."
