[Arguing. Albeit lacking heat.] If you let them take care of it maybe the scarring will be less.

[The cough is received with quiet consternation and a look that is arguably verging on 'you are very silly about all the things and I will have to explain'. It's fond. There's a kiss, quick and light put to the corner of his jaw but she draws back and laughs. Pepper's laughter is uninhibited in the lab. It's nothing like polite boardroom jokes and polite boardroom appropriate responses. It echoes on metal and on bare floor and she misses a couple of words in the explanation.]

It's all over my skirt. [Her hand stills on his chest, she's noticed the reaction. She makes a demonstrated mental note.]

[Tony just doesn't answer about the scarring, and he lets it drift away into the obscure conversation topic pile where it belongs. A big grin when he makes her laugh. Tony's good at telling the truth in that way.] It's all over you. [He points it out by dropping his gaze to her shirt and touching his tongue to his lips--for once not an intentional gesture. Both hands compulsively flex over her thighs and then he abruptly lets her go.] You are to imagine this as being ridiculously sexy. But now I'm sitting down again. [And he does, looking around for the stool, trying to hold his leg up, obviously wishing the healing part was all over.]

[The shirt will wash. The skirt won't - but there are dry-cleaners. Her chin drops, she pulls on the edge of the shirt outward and away from her body to try and assess the worst of the damage, sees a distinct handprint-ish smear, and gives up.]

I'm sure Doctor Banner would approve you sitting down. You didn't have to get up in the first place. [She slides down from the workbench, toes first, then heels and begins to look for her shoes.] I've imagined. I think I have enough to go on. [The look over her shoulder (and through a lot of mussed hair) is deliberate, if he catches it. Knowing.]

	[Tony might be secretly hoping she bends down to find the shoes. He nudges one of them over under the workbench, and he is a terrible person for enjoying his handprint on her clothing. His whole body glows with casual mischief.] I definitely had to get up. [He watches her move, catches the look over her shoulder, and is surprised into a pleased smile.] Yeah?

[She has one shoe, dangling off the tips of her fingers, the filament of the heel wickedly long. But one shoe is not enough, even if her skirt seams are crooked and the shirt is beyond excuse. Nudging her toe under the workbench to see if she can wiggle for it] You could have stayed sitting down. [You can hear the smile, even with her face turned away.] I would have come to you. [Locating the missing shoe, the skirt so ruined now it's destined for the trash, kneeling to retrieve it.] I didn't leave that there. You're a terrible man. [Definitely smiling.]

	[This whole idea of her coming to him is absolutely delicious. He savors the concept for a little while as she searches for her shoe. He tilts his head to get a better view.] I am terrible. I am so terrible. I feel bad about it. Really bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Wry.] You're so broken up about it. I can tell. [The second shoe is retrieved, and the first shoe stepped into. She puts a hand on the workbench to balance and the same thing repeated. Now extremely tall. Sweetly (never bodes well):] If you'd done as the doctor told you, you would have been in bed in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[With an effort to keep his jaw in place.] It gets boring when you're not in it. [This is so much more fun with Pepper. Less like he's fighting with a stranger and waiting for them to leave, and more like... he's waiting for her to stay.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Both heels secured now. Staccato on bare floor as she approaches him. She's trying to fix her hair and oblivious to the streak of grime in it.] It's supposed to be boring. It's restful. [A smile. She kisses his cheek - very briefly - and straightens.] Let Banner check the burn and don't be impossible. [She's looking to retrieve her coffee.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His pupils realign ever so slightly from her face to look at her hair and then focus again on her eyes. The little boy smile lingers. He reaches up and touches her face, the lock of hair, and her arm as she draws away from him, a drifting touch.] I don't need Banner to look at it. The other medic is taking care of it. Stop fussing.

	[A softer look at him, less certain of herself. There's a hesitancy as she pulls back. Maybe she knows what to do with Tony behaving outrageously, less so the more naked affection.] The other medic will listen to you when you tell them you're doing everything they tell you to. I need to go. Change my shirt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pepper. I... am... fine. Please stop haranguing me. [He touches his forehead and pulls the hair away from his skin, digging into his scalp a little in a gesture of stress recognizable to them both. Glancing up, he gives her a slow nod of agreement.] Organize art. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Pivoting on heels (it's a skill) and retrieving coffee cup. Always easier to get out, not in. And gone.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
