WHO: Mary Crawley & Tony Stark
WHEN: 226405.24
WHERE: A Napa Valley winery
SUMMARY: Mary and Tony catch up. Also wine.
WARNINGS: TBD?

Mary wasn't sure if wineries were prevalent in this part of California during her time, but she had to admit that the wine they produced was quite good. She and some of the travelers had signed up to do a tour of three wineries in the area, each with a tasting and glasses for purchase if they wished. They were at stop number two, and Mary was on glass number two, this time of a Riesling. She was trying to limit herself so that she wasn't completely sloshed by the end of the tour.

This winery had a nice courtyard where people could sit and enjoy the views of the vineyards. If Mary hadn't known, she would have suspected that she was in Italy. She spied Tony sitting by himself and decided to sit next to him. It had been a while since they had caught up.

She smiled as she took her seat, hoping that she wasn't disturbing him. "Enjoying yourself?"

	Mary nodded. "We talked, finally, and I think he understood why I had such a reaction to what we'd done. We've agreed to put it behind us." It would take a bit of time for them to be completely comfortable again, but they were making progress. She had really missed having him as a friend. Whoever thought she'd be such good friends with Lucifer himself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's good. Glad to hear it. It was pretty weird from out here, watching it all go down. I just wanted to smush the two of you back together." Tony's hands came out, moving towards each other like as if they were actually smushing something. "For all the good that would have done. Probably not a lot."

He paused, and squinted his eyes a bit, "In fact, I'm pretty sure that would have just made it worse. Oh well. It's fixed now, that's the important part."

	"Yes, I think that would have made it worse." She and Lucifer had to come to terms with what they had done, each of them in their own time. Mary hated that it had hurt their friendship, as that had never been her intention. At least things seemed to be heading back to normal now. "I'm glad you cared enough to worry about it though," Mary said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Of course I care, Princess." He held his hand over his heart for a second, in the international gesture of 'these words are very important to me'. He was speaking as seriously as Tony ever did.

"I'm not good at it, the caring. I don't always connect, or check in, or follow up on people. One time I left Pepper on the roof waiting for a martini that never came because business came up. Forgot about her entirely. But I care how I can. So you know. For whatever that's worth."

	She sensed his sincerity, and that was nice. He was trying. It was more than she could say about most people. "I think you do care, Tony. You simply have trouble showing it sometimes." Mary could be like that as well, so she understood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well..." Tony trailed off, and squinted a bit. Some part of him had that 'grumpy old man' reputation to keep, and he wasn't sure he wanted to relinquish his hold on that just yet. But Mary already knew he had soft and squishy insides, so he relented, and nodded his head.

"That's probably true. And I should probably go see about some of that Riesling before we head on to the next place."

	Mary knew it was true, though she also knew about keeping up a reputation. She wasn't supposed to have feelings or emotions. The unfortunate thing was that she did. "Do. It's quite good." She was content to enjoy the scenery until they called for everybody to get back onto the transport vehicle to the next winery. (Reply to this) (Parent)
