              TONGUE RUNS ACROSS _{her teeth, weight shifts uncomfortably from foot to foot. vindication is a dead end road, but it’s one she intends to take until it leads her off the cliff. to the very bitter end.  ❝ what do you know about a man named carlos madrigal ? ❞}

^{his head shakes.   ❛ i can’t say i know anything about him. — should i? ❜   truth be told, his focus has been elsewhere on the avengers.}

his fingertips tapped the lip of his porcelain STARK ENTERPRISES mug, a positive curl of his lips wrinkling the flesh around his eyes; it felt damn good to smile like this again in his sister’s company. “            remember that ring i told you about awhile back? ” several years back.

it’s been awhile since they’d been able to spend time together, but ever since things had gotten back to normal for tony, so had it for them.   ❛ yeah… you thinkin’ about using it finally? ❜   there’s a twinkle in her brother’s eyes, one that’s unmistakable.

❛ you do know who i am, right? ❜

        ^{‘ tell me, tony, how’s life treating you these days? ‘ &. his voice is calm, friendly almost. it couldn’t be further from the truth. ‘ what’s been going on ? ‘}

^{paralyzed. tony can barely breathe upon seeing the other man, having thought he’d been LONG GONE. such a thing, apparently, is not true.   ❛ get out. ❜}

       ❛  so                   when’s the engagement party ? or far more important, the wedding ?  ❜

tony blushes almost immediately, averting his gaze for a few seconds.   ❛ —— i guess it’s safe to assume you heard? ❜   of course she had, though tony had hoped to tell her himself.   ❛ in a year or so. pepper wants to focus on the company for a few more months, then she’ll be ready to take a back seat for a bit so we can start planning things. she even mentioned asking you for help — if you’d be willing, of course. ❜

She looks at him for a couple of seconds before her hand moves to the bag that was being held under her arm. From there she removes schematics, passing it onto his hands “Have you ever seen this type of device?”

he immediately flinches when the papers are held out to him, STILL not a fan of being handed things. however, tony knows he has to learn to overcome such a fear, hesitantly accepting them. looking it over, rather confused as to the context, he’ll lift his head with brows furrowed.   ❛ — i can’t say i have. why? ❜

              _{❝ – your help. ❞}

^{her tone keeps him from commenting with something humorous.   ❛ with what? ❜   it sounds as if he’s already willing to do whatever she asks. within reason, of course.}

“…for what, Sir?” It’s a wild card whenever Tony asks for his help.

❛ um, how do i put this… i need your help with something regarding pepper. ❜   jarvis has a level head on his shoulders… maybe he’ll have an answer.

^{confusion is etched into his expression, tony’s brows furrowing as eyes narrow ever so slightly.   ❛ — there a reason you think that? ❜}
