See? You didn't even say "oh no, that wasn't flattery, I meant it". Can't be trusted.

Anyway, part of me is completely aware of the fact that you'd probably be able to look after a department here reasonably well - since real world rules don't tend to apply here - and part of me worries regardless, because anything here makes me worry. Are you talking about the engineering department?

Because I thought it was obvious that— despite it being flattery, it was true. Remember, me giving you the company. I may have thought I was dying— but it meant I trusted you with that important thing. Can too be trusted.

Somehow I need to make you a bathtub so you can take baths to be less worried or something. It's— yeah, full disclosure Isaac left, we're down to barely anyone and Sulu's already splitting his time and can't and there's worse things I could do.

Good save. I just about believe you.

Okay, fine, you make a convincing case, in that there's really no way or reason for me to say no. It's actually quite nice to see you willingly picking up responsibility like this! [ BEING IRON MAN DOESN'T COUNT you know what she means

... ] Could you really make me a bathtub?

Only just about?

See and all that makes me want to do is just rescind my offer. That hurts Pepper. [ HE DOES BUT STILL!!! ]

I'd have to keep it a secret?

Sometimes I can't tell if you're just being difficult or if you're really so easy to tease.

You won't rescind your offer, because you like being in charge of things that don't necessarily involve funding, board meetings or strict financial accountability. Besides, even if it does hurt, you know I'll just kiss it better.

Secrets aren't exactly the easiest things to keep around here, no matter how much I miss having baths.

Why ruin the mystery?

It means corralling people who are stupid though. Not even sure if it's technically a fair trade-off. But I'll take the kisses. I'll take a lot of them when I get off shift. Ugh. Shifts. Why is this now my life officially?

Multiple labs of my own, remember? I can totally keep it a secret. Can you?
