Well, for the past ten or so minutes, the Doctor had been sidestepping 'traps' (he would never go so far as to call them that, of course) in the halls. All that tea, all those biscuits, going to waste. The farther he got through the hall, the more he shook his head until finally he was just plain facepalming. "Eris, you control bloody chaos, and this is the best you can come up with?" he muttered. "You're losing your touch~"
"I told you, I don't control it anymore." She gave him a pouty look from up on the ladder. "My brother bound my powers for just an eeensy tiiiiny little thing I did, and all I can do is travel about for a while." She hopped down the last step and came over to stand right inside his personal space bubble. "Aren't you hungry?"
"Nope, sorry, already ate." He smiled at her, snarky and annoying and just...apparently smarter than her at the moment. "Okay, fine, you don't control it anymore, but you've still got a passion for it. I think your brother was probably a very smart man to do what he did."
"My brother is a liar and a cheat and a really mean man." She teared up a bit, pulling a hankerchief out of god knows where. "It's Zeus, Jimmy, do you know what that means? It'll stick if I don't do what he says!"
She gives him a sniffle. "Not even a bit thirsty?"
"So I guess it's about time you started following a few orders, then!" Oh, yeah, he was way too chipper about this. "And, no, really, you're going to have to do a lot better than that."
"But he's persecuting me! Don't you care? Aren't you all about truth, and justice, and puppies?" She tugs on his sleeve. "What if I say 'Doctori, please'?"
"Talk to Jack if you want to talk puppies. The truth and justice bit's pretty much on the ball, I suppose. Oi, it's punishment, and I'm all for punishing."
He pulls his arm away and rolls his eyes. "Let me think about that--hm, no. Don't touch the jacket."
"Jack's off with his new toy." She pouts and leans forward to lick his jacket out of sheer spite. "I don't deserve to be punished! I'm doing my JOB. There's too much order in the world, Jimmy. It's starting to hurt things." And by things, she meant herself.
"I think I'd know a thing or two about chaos and order." Aw, and he liked this jacket! Oh well, he always had the newer one whilst he disinfects this one... "Just see how things fair without your influence for a while, yeah?" He rolls his eyes once more and continues down the hall. "And if there's a little too much order, well, we'll see. Gotta have a bit of fun now and then."
"You don't! You are such an Order man." She stomped her foot and followed him around, up the hallway. "You don't mean that, you're just teasing me! Things are just going to get worse and worse and worse, Jimmy! And then I'm going to get sick! And it will be all your fault. I'll have to run away and hide, and eat hot-dog buns and cry."
"Sounds like a good plan for a dreary weekend. Bit of hiding doesn't do anyone any harm." He smirks. "You are such a child sometimes, you realize that?"
"Well, I *am* the youngest of them all. But I'm still all woman, you know." She tosses her hair for him. "More. I'm a goddess. Just a very put-out and put-upon one."
"Now that's a dirty lie." She puts her hands on her hips and stomps her foot, which, all in all, doesn't help her case. "I have never been spoiled in my whole life! I never even knew my parents and none of my siblings have ever loved me best." She sighs. "I admit I get a bit sulky, but wouldn't you? What if I stole your little screwdriver thing?"
"Oi, don't go threatening to steal my stuff! Completely different scenario to the one you're in. Despite what you might've heard, I'm no god, and I don't get my powers from anything. Or, well, have any 'powers' at all, I suppose."

She batted her eyelashes up at him. "You must be godly at something. You've been around Captain Jack so long."
