The cry this time is louder, the pain he feels from both the memories and the Master's demand to focus reflected in the way his eyes screw shut and how he writhes against his bonds. Not that it does him any good, for the Jaffa have done their job well, and Jamie isn't going anywhere anytime soon. His mind is wrenched back, skipping back past the touch of the Doctor's hands on his skin, back to the beginning of the whole thing.
Orongo. It was a mission, to retrieve an artifact that would help them find the Tapestry that now resided in one of the Sensoriums, so far away from where they were now. It was in the Sacred City, and unless you were a religious sort, the only way to gain access was, well, to be married.
Billy and Kaylee - his best friends on the ship, other than the Doctor - were there, discussing the situation. Victoria, at the time, was a memory, someone who had left years ago and Jamie thought would never return. Kaylee was who he liked then, although it was entirely one sided, and the memories of the feeling bubble up to the surface, a curl of jealousy working its way in as he knew she was going to pick Dean for the ceremony.
Then, realization. When they had been told to pick someone back on the ship to partner up with, someone they trusted, it had been so they could take place in the ceremony. Jamie had picked the Doctor. Despite the Darksoul having taken over and forced its way into his mind, despite the damage done, he had forgiven what had happened. It wasn't the Time Lord's fault, after all. The Darksoul was powerful, and had taken over others in the crew. And there was the fact Jamie had traveled with the Doctor for years - the merest fraction of time to the Master, who had known the Doctor for centuries. But to a boy who was barely twenty back then, with all the shortsightedness of a human when it came to time...well, it seemed like a substantial part of his life.
So as the Doctor joins them, right in the middle of his very stubborn denials that about not marry the Doctor, he abruptly relents, knowing the Doctor should be one of the ones to get in the city and have a chance to get the artifact.
There's a skip forward again, back to the Doctor's hands on his face, Jamie obligingly closing his eyelids so lines can be painted over them. And then another, smaller skip, to the ceremony. Very pretty, with swirling lights joining and a priest officiating, but it's all a sham, not really binding...or is it?
