[Video] Week 52: Saturday Morning

[pepperspray]

[A pleasant backdrop of green fields and sunlight can't mask the concern that's pursed Pepper's lips and given her expression, always attentive, an added layer of sharp attention.]

Does anyone have information about what's going on with the sky? Has there been another attack?

I can't seem to raise Tony, so any information would be appreciated.

Well, he does seem to have a bit of a problem with communication.

[And Rumple managed to offend him, the last time they talked. Maybe he'll just view his exchange with Pepper....]

But I'll see what he has to say. Or not say, as the case may be.

I'll check. And I'll rattle a few cages, in case there isn't rescue underway.

[The latter of which will, ultimately, be reported as futile - scorched earth may well be more likely than rescue.]

Pepper Potts.

[The retreat back to conversational basics lets Pepper's expression firm back up, schooled into friendly and businesslike]

Considering the circumstances, I think I'll say that it will be a pleasure to meet you. Things right now are a little... fraught for me to apply the label now and be honest about it.

[Pepper huffs a laugh at that question, and gives it an honest answer.]

No, I'm really not... but there's not really anything that can be done at the moment. I'm glad you told me, though.

Thank you.

[Pepper's tone is quiet but genuinely grateful.]

I'll let you know if I hear anything else. Would you be willing to return the favour?

[The next text comes back slowly, with some obvious effort. Words. They'll never be easy. Even using picture symbols is tricky when he has to be all... literal about it.]

W A T *tin can* *eye* D O ?

[Sandy hates that she's upset and he can't do anything.]

That's fine, Miss Potts. I understand.

Thank you for the information. I'll do my best to get ahold of Tony if you can't. Maybe I'll have more luck. Please, be careful out there.

If I hear any news, you'll be the first to know.

I have a feeling it's a lot less risky where I am. [Pepper's tone is dry, but appreciative of the concern.]

Giant prehistoric pachyderms aside. Good luck, Lieutenant.

[Be very careful asking Pepper Potts if there's anything you can do. Although the question does replace her expression of internal worry with one of a to-do list gleaming in her eyes, so he's helped that much, at least.]

I've let a few people back in Poseidon know what you've told me -- Belle, Mr. Gold, and a Lieutenant Agathon. I'm too far away to help with anything, but if they contact you, you could be a great help to them, in terms of information or just being able to be on site taking a look at anything they need a closer view of.

[fillsnightswithgold]

[He doesn't believe he knows any of them - if only because Rumple didn't introduce himself by that name - but Sandy's hardly going to refuse to help! He stands at attention and salutes the screen.]

[And a minute later realizes she can't see that.]

*Thumbs up* !
