[solvabilities]

I guess I will.

[acceptabilities]

That's good.

[solvabilities]

Nag, nag.

[acceptabilities]

No one else does it.

[solvabilities]

For good reason. They tend to quit after a while when dealing with me.

[acceptabilities]

I wouldn't call it "dealing".

[solvabilities]

What would you call it then?

[acceptabilities]

[sighs]

Being a friend.

[solvabilities]

[ . . . pokes his food ]

[acceptabilities]

[did you actually eat any of it]

[solvabilities]

[ ur not my mom ]

[acceptabilities]

[no. I'm pretty sure JARVIS qualifies better for that]

[solvabilities]

[ rude ]

You absolve me too quickly, but you won't forgive yourself. That pisses me off.

[acceptabilities]

[shakes his head]

I was mad at you. At myself, and the Skrulls. The situation at hand. In the end, you— we didn't do anything wrong. You couldn't have known what was going on. Least of all with everything you put on your shoulders. And who else is going to tell you that if you don't do it yourself?

[solvabilities]

[ . . . huffs ]

You, obviously.

[acceptabilities]

No one's left yet, Tony.

[solvabilities]

I did. You keep forgetting that.

[acceptabilities]

That was then. You're here now.

[solvabilities]

Well, I technically live here.

[acceptabilities]

As I've understood it, you could just as easily have lived at Stark Tower, or elsewhere.

[solvabilities]

Yeah, but I still technically live here.

[acceptabilities]

[raises an eyebrow]

"Technically".

[solvabilities]

I'm not leaving my suits behind.

[acceptabilities]

...of course.

[solvabilities]

You're giving me a judgey look.
