Yes, well, Pepper Potts, if nobody'd noticed yet, was a worrier. And while she knew Tony could, and would, push his body well beyond what most people thought of, even he had to have a limit. She really really didn't want him to slam against it. Pace himself... not that he ever would. Whenever he was doing something, he was giving it everything of himself. Knowing that just didn't stop her worrying.
And she'd keep on reminding. Hopefully, he'd consider her reminders. Hopefully, he'd hear most of them. Sometimes she wasn't sure he heard at all, when he was too involved in what he was doing.
More? Tonight? Well, let's say that if he went and passed out during something more, neither of them would retain pleasant memories of the experience. Besides... she'd tried to go for a kiss. Once. They'd both realized it was a wrong move. Right?
"Correct," she repeated quietly. "Relax, now." Then she closed her eyes for a moment to remember the Ayah's voice, and started singing. She wasn't trained; she hadn't sung this to anybody else, as a matter of fact, but her memory of the melody was strong, and it came out, soft but distinct, lulling-by. After a few moments, her other hand moved and her fingers started lightly, slowly caressing the back of his palm.
