[The phone goes dead in Pepper's hand, all sound suddenly cutting out. Her breath escapes her, leaving a hollow beneath her breastbone behind. One that the next inhale can't seem to fill.
Pepper puts the phone face down on the table, each movement measured and precise. It clicks against the glass and her breathing goes ragged for a second. Tony asked for this call, and he couldn't even finish it.
The silence he's left behind is worse than anything she could have imagined. It's not indifference, she knows, but it feels far too much like it.
His inability to be there, even for what might be the end of them should make anger blossom red and hot, to fill that empty void in her chest. But all she does is ache. For what was; what could've been; and what might never be.
There might not be any more wine, but there's a mountain of paperwork for her to drown herself in. Thankfully, the vast machinery that is Stark Industries doesn't stop or slow.]

Well I can't see anyone in the world doing that to you and living to see the end of it, so.. yeah, I suppose.
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
I suppose I could come in if it is for your well being.
[Fenris put the kickstand down and dismounted.]
Is anyone else home?

well, if it's not something you like, I should make sure, right?
That's how these situations work, isn't it?

So do you, you know.
That um.. that sounds nice. I think I'd like that a lot.

Because I just do.

[Deep breath...Just like pulling a band-aid off, Sora..You just got to do it sometimes.
Um...okay, so you know that mog replication machine and how you said that under no circumstances should we touch it. At all. Especially when no one was around to watch it?

Then I would say one of those shawls, and off you go?
What will you do?
> wrangle off the visor and draw inappropriate things on his face
> take pictures of him while vulnerable
> splash more water on him; he's a quenched house plant ignored for three weeks, bring him back to life!!
> be nice and just lay beside him and admire the night sky. maybe take a pic with him

[ She's sure Genji hadn't gone too far for very long, but for now, it's just the two of them. His lack of response to her presence once she makes it up the steps and quietly clicks her way over to him confirms her suspicions of sleep and she'll just take a seat on the smooth cement and adjust herself next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. That pesky camera phone comes up to snap a picture of them both, flash off under the roof's low lighting and tossing up a little peace sign, one finger to the corner of her lips.
Then she'll just enjoy his warmth and watch the stars until he stirs. ]

Couldn't tell you his name. All I know is he called you a "Clint Eastwood looking hick motherfucker" and you beat the shit outta him.
As for the food, I'm almost insulted, Jesse. You know I wouldn't go after innocents like that.

Understood. Don't worry about me too much. I know my limits.
Somehow I find that hard to believe, Reinhardt.
