[Billy isn't the only one glad for it. Each familiar face she'd seen, either over the journals or in person, made Pepper feel a little better in the aftermath of the draft. Although there are still moments of concern in the mix, like when she notices Billy's limp, or when he says he just needs to sit.]

Sure. You can join me on the couch. [There's a blanket there Pepper's been draping over her legs, but that she'll give up if Billy's cold from being outside.]

I'm not sure how much there'd be for you to do, anyway. Tony's been fantastic about taking care of things since we got back. [Which he earns a smile for; Pepper can't ask for a better caretaker.]
