[closed] i collect my moments into a correspondence

Date & Time: 4/25ish.
Location: Tony's workshop.
Characters: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Max Kearney.
Summary: Sorry about Tony's friends, Pepper.
Warnings: Absurd people. None, most likely.

[ She'd become much more scarce around the workshop after Pepper's arrival. The initial strong emotions associated with reunions like that could be at once heady and unpleasant for her in the memories they stirred, and she thought it was better to give both them space to themselves and herself space from it. They would have things to talk about and she had things to do.

But by now she's started gravitating back towards the workshop again - mostly late at night or very early in the morning, looking more for solitude in a space she considers relatively safe than anything. Tony had told her she needed to meet Pepper, but socializing isn't really Max's greatest or most enjoyed field most of the time so she keeps telling herself soon and then not actually carrying through with it. It's not that she can't - she's learned over time how to be very, very good at the first impression - she just rarely gets much pleasure out of it.

But this morning she's in a back corner of the workshop, bent over a bench and engrossed enough in her work to have failed to notice the passing of time. Normally she'd have headed out a while ago, long before anyone else but Tony with his ridiculous hours would show up, but she's a little too busy swearing under her breath at pieces that just won't cooperate at all, futilely pushing her hair back out her face at intervals with grease stained fingers. ]
