Thank your lucky stars. Look how you've shaped up.
[ a gentle swat on his arm. if she's going to be stuck on this wild ride of christmas cheer, you can be certain she reserves the right to snark at every corner turned. ]
[ it's a battle of wits. At times, she wins and drags him into bickering and bantering and sometimes, he says something right and it softens her a notch.
Seeing an opening, he's quick to respond; keeping her hand in his, he goes for what seems to always work best, honesty. ]
[ good heavens. he's attractive even when he's denying her the gutter-fight she so sorely wants. peggy huffs, swallows an unbecoming pout, and abides by the results of their scuffle. he wants to be sweet? fine, she'll give him sweet. ]
[ he glances at the door to the cargo bay. He rather likes the sweetness, likes it enough to move a step closer, to brush a thumb over her knuckles but - ]
You know, I'm pretty sure Max told me something about any manner of fraternization near his shuttles.
[ nice as all this nearness is, she can't help but scoff as he invokes an old army euphemism. peggy's head tilts -- she looks at him over the bridge of her nose. thoroughly prepared to be unimpressed with the answer. ]
Can't really remember - it was my first week but it was very clear. He really cares about those things.
[ and she had asked him to show patience to Max and his oddities and honestly, this is a rather big sacrifice he's making here in th name of patience, thank you very much. ]
[ -- peggy glances across steve's shoulder to one of the shuttles. the she knows max favours. ]
They symbolize escape, I think. [ and that's why he cares. ] Even now, he likes to know he could at least try and bolt at any moment. [ and has certainly attempted to do so, in the past. ] But I have faith he won't.
Better. [ she nods. ] He lets me use his name, which is a leap and a half. And he uses my name in turn. But apparently he's also making up stupid rules about where I can -- fraternize.
[ eyeing steve, and deciding her attempt at battling it's quite over: ] Maybe I should have a chat with him.
