❝ Oh, I do so look forward to seeing how he handles you stealing her away. ❞

– Missy

The Half-Face Man woke and sat up, putting his top hat back on before looking to his left and seeing a woman sitting on the edge of a fountain that was in the middle of a beautiful and lush garden. The woman herself was looking very proper in full Edwardian garb - a dark dress, and a tie. She actually looked very similar to Mary Poppins.

"Hello!" The woman greeted cheerfully after noticing the Half-Face Man had awoken. "I'm Missy." She smiled as she stood up from the edge of the fountain. "You made it." She said as she walked over and joined him on the porch. "I hope my boyfriend wasn't too mean to you."

The Half-Face Man turned his head to look at her. "Boy... friend?"

Missy smiled as she took his hand and guided him so sit. "Now did he push you out of that thing, or did you fall? Couldn't really tell. He can be very mean sometimes." She pat his hand. "Except to me, of course, because he..." She smirked. "loves me so much... I do like his new accent, though. Think I might keep it."

"And that wife of his... She really is something, isn't she?" A man's voice commented, the Half-Face Man turning his head to see a man (as if from nowhere) leaning against one of the stone pillars of the porch with his arms crossed as he stared out at the garden. The man himself was wearing something that looked like it was straight out of the Roaring Twenties; with a white suit jacket and trousers, a brown vest over a light blue button up shirt, a yellow tie, and a white hat. Basically, think Jay Gatsby with a fedora. The man smirked slightly. "I see great things in her future..."

"Ah, my dear Kasimir." Missy grinned. "So lovely of you to join us."

"Well, our new arrival should be welcomed properly." He responded, glancing at her. "Do you not think he is a bad influence on her?"

"I do." Missy agreed before pouting slightly. "But she seems to like it."

"I agree." Kasimir nodded, uncrossing his arms. "Then again, she hasn't met me yet."

Missy grinned at that. "Oh, I do so look forward to seeing how he handles you stealing her away."

"What a glorious day that will be." Kasimir chuckled slightly before sighing. "However, we do still have a ways to go until then."

The Half-Face Man turned his head away from Kasimir to look at Missy. "Where am I?"

"Well, where do you think you are?" Missy countered, smiling.

"If you really look around you, you'll see that you've made it." Kasimir said as he pushed off the stone pillar before going over and holding out a hand for Missy to stand. "'Tis paradise."

"Or, if you prefer," Missy began, smiling as she took Kasimir's hand and stood from her chair. "the Promised Land."

Kasimir and Missy walked down the steps of the porch together and out to the fountain.

"Welcome... to Heaven."

Kasimir smirked as he took Missy's hand while putting his other one at her waist, Missy putting her free hand on Kasimir's shoulder before the two of them began doing a waltz around the garden.

Author's Note

What do you think. . .? *gives you a hopeful look*

I do really hope you liked this. And I really do hope that you like Kasimir so far, because I have plans for him. It'll take time to actually get to those plans, but it will be worth it. 😊

Btw, I didn't actually get the idea for Kasimir until a bit before I wrote "The Day of the Doctor". He kinda just popped into my head one day and I couldn't stop thinking about him. So... voila! 😁 I chose Sebastian Roché for Kasimir's face-claim because one: he portrayed Balthazar on Supernatural, and two: I've just really been wanting to use him as a face-claim for an OC for the longest time. I just could never find an OC that I felt was right for him. But when I thought of Kasimir, it was like a lightbulb went off. 💡

Anyway . . . I hope you like everything so far! 💕 We've got another filler chapter coming up next, so be on the lookout for that! 😃

Until then! 😘
