[Oh, now that will get the indignation that Peggy thought might be provoked earlier. The tea has helped, but mention of Tony Stark inspired an entirely new throb of pain, paired with a sharp frown as Peggy couches her terms in ways that would implicate Rip stands culpable for whatever she and her nephew had bickered over.]
Oi, now; I can't be held responsible for whatever fit that man sees fit to throw. [What he'd mentioned last night remains true today; Rip's got no idea what he's done that's apparently offended Tony so greatly, that a call of concern now apparently warrants an argument--a second one, at that.]
I've spoken to the man all of three times sum total, and two of those saw him throwing vitriol when I'd just barely said hello. [He places the cup on the table, forgoing more of the tea in favor of leaning back against the sofa. He rolls his head back against the cushion, though an inconveniently placed seam digs uncomfortably at the back of his skull.] While I will readily admit I can be a "dick" at times, I've done nothing to warrant it with him.
[No, that is entirely Tony's irrational behavior, and should sit on his shoulders. But a moment later Rip sighs; he can at least abide some of what she has thrown out.]
Give me your room number and I shouldn't have reason to call him again. [Even if Peggy seeks to avoid Rip, he can at least ensure her possessions remain in tact, and by extension, that she remains tethered to Wonderland.] You do realize I only contacted him last night because I was concerned, don't you? That hardly puts me in the wrong here.
