Warnings: tony and jules sorry it's true


[ They're late. They are so very late, and that's inexcusable on her part because she'd told Tony specifically not to be - that he would or wouldn't be isn't a concern here since she could find him a little easier than back home - and now, she's going to have to deal with it if he'd, in fact, shown up on time. Meeting with Jules a few hours before shouldn't have turned into such carelessness, but it's something she's finding to be entirely new--having a friend. She can relate, and they help each other, so it's quite possible she actually hadn't given the time any thought until there'd been a moment, between food and the drink that had turned into more than one, where she'd felt inclined to tell Jules something that was somewhat of a private matter and that it was, already, several minutes after seven.

So, they're walking (rather fast) together, Pepper gripping the wine Jules had brought around the neck so tightly her knuckles had lost a little color. The anxiety doesn't actually affect her until they're in the right hall, close to the door, and she's keeping an eye on Jules even as she enters the apartment. The fact she'll have to explain through text rather than spoken word is a bit daunting in that the tone might be misinterpreted, and though the inner part of the place seems vacant, that really doesn't say anything at all. He might have been there already.

She turns to Jules then, lips thin and tablet presented in a way that clearly means she's not going to say anything else except: ]


We are never doing that again. [ And yet, somehow, she foresees this becoming another part of her life altogether. ]
