Well, if one thing could be said for Tony it was that he could get Pepper riled up as quickly as he could make her melt. She pursed her lips together at his words feeling a little bit like a dick for starting down the road of telling him off.
Pepper took Tony's hand and fell in step with him quietly. It was a nice night out and they were close enough to the ocean that they could hear it. She wasn't really sure what there was to say after that, so she just remained silent instead and did her best to enjoy Tony's company (it wasn't hard in that particular moment).
