Exacerbate- to worsen of aggravate an already bad situation.
Prompt: She was only exacerbating the situation.
Clara and the TARDIS were having an argument. Well, more precisely the TARDIS had moved Clara's bedroom and Clara was seriously pissed. It had been a long day full of sap filled, human eating trees in a Sleepy Hollowesque forest. Clara wanted a shower and she wanted one NOW!
"Come on! I'm a filthy, stinking mess! I just want to take a shower!" The TARDIS hummed smugly. "Of course! You would just prefer that I drip sap all over your carpets!" The Doctor, having cleaned himself thoroughly, chuckled from the doorway, his bushy eyebrows folding over his eyelids. "Back me up here!" He rolled his eyes. She was only exacerbating the situation. But, she was glaring and it was adorable. The Doctor's hearts caved. He walked up to the console, pulled a screen to face him, and pushed some blue buttons (the one that weren't the stabilizers).
"There you go. Right, right, left you'll find the first door." Grinning, Clara pecked him on the cheek, apparently forgetting that there was sap all over her face and sauntered off. The Doctor was good enough not to say anything, and instead quietly wiped the side of his face with a handkerchief. The TARDIS hummed indignantly. The Doctor smiled and stroked her lovingly.
"Come on old girl. She's not so bad."
