[well it's not like it's the first time you've mumbled things under your breath without elaborating]

... if you say so. [pause, his face relaxing again] Hawkeye called the shots on food tonight, so I think it's pizza.

[solvabilities]

As long as he left us some, I'm not complaining.

[acceptabilities]

Should I regret dragging you out of your cave if he hasn't?

[solvabilities]

Yes. Yes, you should.

[acceptabilities]

Would be about time anyway.

... how long since you took a shower?

[solvabilities]

Are you smelling me?

[acceptabilities]

What? ... no, I was asking.

[solvabilities]

Kind of creepy, Cap. I had one yesterday.

[acceptabilities]

You've been holed up in there and no one's seen you outside for days. You have to agree it's a logical question.

[solvabilities]

Why is everyone so worried about me? I'm fine.

[acceptabilities]

[turns his head to give you a critical once-over]

You sure about that?

[solvabilities]

Okay, you know what, stop. You don't get to ask, you had it worse than all of us!

[acceptabilities]

. . .

[looks to the side]

I'm not bothered by what people say.

[solvabilities]

Yes you are!

[acceptabilities]

I'm not isolating myself.

[sorta]

[solvabilities]

I'm the king of bullshit, Cap, so you're not fooling me.

[acceptabilities]

I don't understand why you're doing this. I wasn't the one who was betrayed!

[solvabilities]

You're right. I -- We were the ones who were betrayed and we fell apart without you.

But that doesn't change what they did to you either.

[acceptabilities]

Tony--

[we were going to get you food, not do this ffff]

[solvabilities]

So don't. I'm sick of the strong act.

[acceptabilities]

[pot and kettle. not saying that out loud tho]

. . .

[solvabilities]

No. No, no, no. I don't want to hear it.

[acceptabilities]

I didn't say anything.

[solvabilities]

I know that look.

[acceptabilities]

Tony. I wasn't here when you needed me. Why are you--

[no, never mind]
