"Right." She agrees with a nod, with such a level of attentiveness you'd think he just said something particularly insightful. "Good. Okay."

"Get a grip," she orders herself irritably as she shrugs out of her jacket and starts to unpack her things mechanically, her thoughts elsewhere. Namely down in the workshop, or wherever Tony ended up going. She'd expected she was going to be deflecting smartass comments and rolling her eyes at his hubris through this whole ordeal, but apparently Tony Stark in private is a whole different person. It's weird, to say the least. She wonders if she should look for the pod...
Finally done with her task, she decides she can no longer avoid him without it coming across as obvious. Besides, they'll definitely never learn to deal with this situation if they actively stay out of each other's path, right? "JARVIS, would you mind...?"
