"And none from you?" Tony asked, smirking and not expecting an answer. She was quickly guided to the car, ushered into the warmth before something fell off, which might have been why he squeezed so close to her in the seat with an arm around her shoulders, warm palm scrubbing over her skin. That didn't explain why he remained there for the ride to Nick's, innocently quiet, watching the backs of Happy and Pepper's heads, wondering what kind of lecture either of them had for him. They were regularly good enough to keep their opinions on these matters to themselves, though Happy had had a string of strange experiences involving Elektra. Of course, any man that knew Elektra, it was probably through a string of strange experiences, Tony felt. Or a singular one that they wouldn't have time to think about, anyway.
At the party, he left what would usually be his entourage with an encouraging nod and a kiss to Pepper's cheek, feeling briefly lost as they went on their way to have their own lives when they could very well be supporting his. He did manage to recover well enough to shrug off his jacket, hand back on Elektra's arm as soon as possible, then snaking around her waist to surreptitiously skim over her hip. There was no way she had her sai under there. Tony's tongue touched his teeth and he threw a sidelong glance at her, eyebrow arched.
