[ 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.
