[technetronic]

Why don't we save ourselves the trouble and leave me to do whatever I want and you continue to mess around with that other guy.

You do realise you can't handle any more so bringing me in would require you to drop the other guy. And, uh, you like him a lot more than you do me, even if you think [He smirks.] I'd be a lot more fun. Of course I am. I'm Tony Stark, fun is what I do.

[He makes shooing motions.] Stop thinking about it, I'm telling you it's a bad idea and I know bad ideas. [Even if he often went through with his own...]

[She sighs a little.]

And what are we going to do when I'm not there to do that for you? [A slight laugh.] Do I need to remind you that you don't even know your social security number?

[technetronic]

Don't need it here. Or on the off chance I do get shipped off, there.

[But good point, what would he do if she wasn't there?]

I suspect bad things would happen. [Look mun, a very good reason why he shouldn't be sent off to a game by himself.] ...Have I ever been to a supermarket?

[pepperedsmile]

[Her point has been made.]

No you haven't. I don't think you've ever done any grocery shopping for yourself. And ordering pizza isn't quite the same thing.

[technetronic]

[He taps a finger against his chin.]

Now you have to make sure I never get sent off to one of those games. It's obvious I can't look after myself.

[pepperedsmile]

[She puts her hands on her hips and she's trying her best to look serious, but there's a hint of a smile tugging at her lips.]

Maybe it's about time you learn then. Or I'm sure you could always find someone else who can do my job.

[technetronic]

But it's easier just keeping you around. I don't want someone else when I've got you just the way I want. [This is the closest he'll ever say how much Pepper truly means to him.]

[pepperedsmile]

[That brings the smile to her lips and she chuckles slightly.]

It does take a certain kind of person to put up with you. But I would appreciate the vacation time and not having to babysit you. It is sometimes a 24/7 job.

[technetronic]

[Selective listening is a go.]

You need a vacation? So where should we go, I own a few tropical islands if that's your thing or we could look at old things in Europe. You like art, right? Don't you do things with my art collection... Just name a destination.

[pepperedsmile]

I don't know if it's slightly offending or flattering about the fact that you think I may or may not have more to do with your art collection than you think.

And need I remind you that I have a company to run for you.

[technetronic]

Flattering, definitely that.

[He makes a dismissive gesture.]

And need I remind you that in my all years as CEO the company didn't crash and burn when I dropped everything to go on vacation.

[pepperedsmile]

[She rolls her eyes slightly. She's not trying to stroke her own ego, but it was also because she was there to make sure said company didn't crash and burn when he went on impromptu vacations.]

I'm not going on vacation with you.

[technetronic]

We could go on separate vacations and accidentally meet up at the same place?

s-sob my lack of icons.

[pepperedsmile]

You're really determined, aren't you? If you really want to go on vacation, why don't you get Rhodey to go with you?

I feel your pain. Why do we need so many icons?

[technetronic]

[Pepper, really.]

I could, but you know how the military gets when I get Rhodey to do stuff with me. Unwanted third wheel much?

Because the 15 they give us is never going to be enough.

[pepperedsmile]

That hasn't stopped the two of you before.

And we need many different variations of the same expression.

[technetronic]

Ah, yep, good times.

Burly men following us around still cramps my style.

That too.

[pepperedsmile]

So Happy driving you around cramps your style? I'll be sure to tell him that the next time I see him.

Us RPers are so picky about our 100x100 pixels XD

[technetronic]

[Faux outrage.]

How could you? You'll hurt his feelings.

I don't know how we can get so attached to 100x100 pixels haha XD

[pepperedsmile]

You're the one who said it, not me.

Brainwashing obviously.

[technetronic]

If you tell him, technically you're saying it too.

/shakes fist Damn you, pretty pixals!

[pepperedsmile]

Which only shows that the last thing I need is to spend more time with you.

We will always crawl back and throw our money at them

[technetronic]

We've already established I wouldn't last very long if you left.

What is this demon power they hold over us.

[pepperedsmile]

What are you going to do if your mun ends up apping you then?

I think it's all a part of Loki's evil plan.

[technetronic]

[...Not going to mention that his mun had been joking earlier about taking him from when he was in Afghanistan when he was still hooked up to the car battery or even getting rid of the car battery.]

Apparently there used to be another me there and Cap remembers me. I suspect he'll make sure I keep functioning. [Even if Tony will quietly resent him for his relationship with his dad.]

Hrngg...but it's Loki. I would be okay with that.

[pepperedsmile]

[She chuckles.]

Well at least you'll have someone to look after you. And I'd say that Captain America is much more qualified than I am. And if there was another one of you there he'll know what he's dealing with.
