We're...[awkward pause and clearing of throat]...not platonic.

Lord Rassilon can be manipulative. But I'm sure you know that. He is, after all, a Time Lord and a politician.

[Another long pause.]

For my part, although he is my president I wouldn't trust him enough to let my guard down to such an extent. Maybe I would have before... [Not just maybe. During the early days of Rassilon's presidency, when he was still star-struck, if Rassilon had wanted him he would have considered himself honoured.]

I'm loyal to him, and I'll obey orders. That doesn't mean I've forgotten what he's done. Accede to his desires if you wish, but don't think he won't turn on you if you become inconvenient.
