"Okay. If you're sure." She gives a small smile. "I'll... see you later then." She barely suppresses a visible wince. What a dumb thing to say. It's like the awkwardness they'd gotten rid of for a while is back, and Pepper chooses to retreat with a quick half-wave before anything else silly comes out of her mouth.
Once up in Tony's -- their -- room, she notes the clothes strewn around with some amusement. She tries to let them be, but her need for neatness forces her to locate the hamper to shove the clothes into it before proceeding with her shower, trying not to feel self-conscious as she undresses behind the closed bathroom door. She takes her time, letting the hot water soothe her muscles and ignoring the pleasant, kind of sandalwoodsy smell clinging faintly to the walls of the posh stall. And she very definitely tries not to think about being naked in the same space Tony has been similarly undressed, likely not so long ago too. Definitely not.
