Limes. Bunches and bunches of limes.

Ray thought limes were totally +1 against peppers or something. Shut up, he'd never done D&D as a kid and he'd slug anybody who mentioned it. But. Limes.

Stuffing them in her locker wasn't enough. There was a lime by the bad coffee, there were two limes on her keyboard, and one even sat proudly in Daisy's seat, sliced half-open and grinning in all its limeyness.

Ha.

"Not specifically, but I yelled at an, um, augmented secretary I normally work with. It was just a messy day," she admitted. "Lying, or at least not saying what's in your head, is way easier."

"You tellin' me," Ray said, still kind of digesting all of that. "I woke up, started talking to my room how I wanted another turtle, I was lying the hell back down."

"You had a turtle?"

Because that was clearly the important bit.

"I had a turtle back in Chicago," he said, nodding, "Cool guy. We didn't, uh, get in each other's way."

"Aw. You should get another," she decided, nodding. "That's a much better thing to blurt out than anything I said."

"Hey, I didn't talk to people," Ray pointed out, "I coulda wandered into Fraser's office and told him I wanted a pair of his longjohns or something."

Maybe missing a vital word in that sentence, but damn, Pepper did not need to hear any of that bullshit.

"That would absolutely beat Tony wanting Jarvis to count my freckles," Pepper decided, tilting her head in thought.

"Hey, at least you didn't spill your embarrassing secrets to a dead terra-- terrarium."
