what even is this

No, go on, I'm listening.

Oh not you again... shouldn't this get old at some point?

[losesbest]

[s h r u g]

What can I say? I'm irresistible.

[custardfishsticks]

No you're not, really, but I suppose that's yet to get through to you. If it ever will, but it probably won't, will it?

[losesbest]

Well, you could always try. No harm in that.

Wait. On second thought... Yes, probably harm in that. Oh, but wouldn't it be worth it?

[custardfishsticks]

[Completely ignoring the question, oops.]

No offense- but weren't we done?

[For the how manyeth time, at that.]

[losesbest]

My dear doctor, haven't you realized our work is never over?

[custardfishsticks]

[Frowns a bit. The thought has crossed his mind, but he doesn't know whether he likes it or not.]

And you're one of those people who make sure of that.

[losesbest]

Why thank you. I do try, you know. [mock bow.]

[custardfishsticks]

Yes, and I'd much rather you didn't.

[losesbest]

Would you now? Oh, then I'd better go rethink the whole thing. [e y e r o l l]

[custardfishsticks]

[You get a flat look. The flattest of flat looks.]

[losesbest]

[Ignoring.]

Was that tie your idea?

[custardfishsticks]

[Oh is that a fashion arguement coming on? Bring it. He always wins those anyway.]

Why yes, it was. I like bowties, bowties are cool.

[losesbest]

[The Doctor was totally captain of the Gallifrey Academy Debate Team. You can tell just by that cunning argument.]

Did one of your little human playmates tell you that? You do still have those, right?

[It's so hard to keep track of them! They come and go these days!]

[custardfishsticks]

Yes to the second and no to the first, I don't need other people to tell me what I like.

[This is him not pointing out that the Master knows that very well.]

[losesbest]

From the look of it, you just might. [:D]

[custardfishsticks]

We can't all have dozens of the same outfit.

[losesbest]

As if having dozens of those ties is any better.

[custardfishsticks]

What's wrong with trying out something else to wear once in a while?

[losesbest]

Oh! So that explains your playmates!

[custardfishsticks]

[Paaaaaaaause.]

...are you jealous?

[losesbest]

What's there to be jealous of?

[custardfishsticks]

Well I don't know, but you keep vying for my attention and making fun of my friends, when you're not going after their lives or sanity.

[losesbest]

How many have you lost this time around?

Without me even being there. How many?

[custardfishsticks]

[Now that's not a fair question. He pauses, his usual ease falling off him.]

None, actually.
