"'Damned'? Damned's just a word, a label. Being cast down or 'damned' doesn't change your nature. Does the fact I look human make me any less of an alien, any less of a Time Lord? Who cares about names?" The Doctor paused, smiling faintly. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, as old Will S once said. So why does the fact you're now a demon mean you have to behave any differently? Hell knows, I don't act like a normal Time Lord. Heaven knows. Earth knows. Oh, whatever."
He smiled at what Mictain said about humanity, though. He may believe himself a demon, but at least he saw sense when it came to humans. "You have no idea how many creatures I've faced who have wanted to make humans their own," the Doctor said, rolling his eyes. "Aliens are forever trying to enslave them, and what's the point in that? They're much more interesting if you leave them be."
His slight smile widened into a full-on manic grin. "Oh, I've managed so far," he said. "No Antichrist, I'm afraid, just human companions and the occasional robot dog. I've never actually seen Armageddon, though. The event, I mean. Landed on a planet once called Armageddon." The Doctor shuddered, a little theatrically. "I am never going back there again." TARDIS permitting.
