[When he mentions being without Chuck she frowns. No one should be without the person they love. At least not if anything can help it.]

I could write him memos, I guess.

[She presses her lips together with a sort of smile.]

He's always been good at ignoring my memos.

[It'd be easier if JARVIS were installed here. It would be someone familiar; someone who knew Tony as well as she did. At the same time though it was hard to think of the AI without it's creator. JARVIS without Tony just seemed off.]

What did you write to her; to Chuck I mean?

[ he smiles even without knowing the joke. he understood how something inconsequential like that meant all the difference when you were missing someone with your whole heart. ]

I wrote about... everything. She would have loved the City. I often wished we could switch places, if we couldn't be there at once. But now I'm here and I got to tell her all about it anyway.

[ which is really, even better than being home and forgetting the best two years of his life. ]

So as much as I hate it when people say something like this... it's. Um. Things do work out, in the end. Almost always.

[She offers that sympathetic smile of hers. Ned is honestly one of the sweetest and most wonderful people she's met on this ship. One of the few who can and does relate to her.]

They do. Thank you Ned.

[onetouch]

[ he nods, leaning forward to pat her hand one last time. ] Any--any time, Pepper.

I'll, um. Enjoy the pie!

[ he's gonna scoot out now. ]

Re: action.

[the_other_eight]

I will, thanks Ned.

[She'll let him go.]

action.

[onetouch]

Bye, Pepper.

[ he waves, and zooms out the door! ]
