• Was blind to under-the-table weapons sales that led to escalated warfare and more deaths
  
• Never fully appreciated Pepper

[She's read it. There's actually some of it she disagrees should be on the list but it's his list and she's going to assume he's cursed if he's going to post it. And on her end, it sounds like she's cooking. Tony mentioned omelets. Now she wants one. And she doesn't really have anything to say about the majority of the list.]

I don't think anyone really likes broccoli.

[ironmanic]

[Very. Very grateful. On his end, there's a lot of whirring. Because he's working on a suit, now. It makes him Feel Better.]

Morning.

[audio]

[char_he_mcgee]

[Tony, she has met worse than you. Your list barely got a blink out of her.]

Morning. You interested in learning how to make an omelet?

[audio]

[ironmanic]

[But this is Tony- where every problem and fault he has is another problem and fault he can't fix.]

Depends- are you the one doing the teaching? And is there coffee involved.

[audio]

[char_he_mcgee]

[At least he wants to fix them. The Worse People? They created problems and didn't even care.]

Yes. And yes. I'll get the coffee started in a moment so it's fresh.

[But this is Tony. He can't not secretly hate himself LMAO]

Today must be my lucky day.

[He'll just...be driving over now...]

[Charlie has the coffee brewing a moment later. Her counter has everything they'll need to make a decent cheese omelet. She'll be in her room, rushing to get out of her pajamas and into something a bit more presentable. Door is unlocked, Tony. Either that or he has a key in case of emergencies. Probably a key, thanks to the Weeping Angels problem. And Hypnos the cat is tucked away in the cat tower in the living room.]

[He enters with his key- but discovering it's unlocked, he heads inside, locking it behind him because he can be polite sometimes. He doesn't look very presentable - not like a CEO should. His hair's its usual mess, and he's just wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

He'll just be making his way toward your kitchen Charlie until you arrive!]

[action]

[char_he_mcgee]

[She's out a minute later. Barefoot because she's in her own apartment. Jeans. Vintage-looking T-shirt. Usual Charlie. She's tying her hair back. And if it means anything, she prefers non-CEO Tony. Though, Tony in general is kind of damn sexy.]

The coffee maker beeped about a minute before you got here. Help yourself.

[action]

[ironmanic]

That I can do.

[He looks up and searches the cupboard - the correct one, thankfully - and pulls out a mug. Plain, simple. He's at least competent enough to pour his own coffee...he doesn't always need Pepper to do it.

He's just kind of quiet for once.]

[action]

[char_he_mcgee]

[And that is very worrying to your...er...hmm. Lalala moving on.]

I'm not going to pry because I hate when people do that to me. Just...if you want to vent about anything, I won't judge or ignore or interrupt.

[action]

[ironmanic]

There's nothing to vent about.

[He takes a long sip of his coffee, relishing in the bitter, bitter blackness of it.]

Just another day- only I'm here and not in my workshop.

[He leans against the counter.]

Omelet?

[action]

[char_he_mcgee]

[She simply nods once, leaving it at that.] So, how many take-out boxes are in your workshop right now?

[It's okay to tease him just a bit, right? She's just going to be going through cabinets, pulling down a mixing bowl and searching drawers for a whisk.]

[action]

[ironmanic]

I didn't realize I was supposed to be keeping count.

[He just watches her casually, sipping and not really learning anything because his mind's just elsewhere.]
