Pepper Potts has posed:
The garage doors are open, personal cars are dotted around within the garage. Outside, there is a large-sized SUV that is backing up to the doors, the white reverse lights illuminating the large work area a little bit more. It comes to a stop, and when the engine stops, there is a moment of silence before the drivers' side door opens, and the ever present 'head of security' and 'chauffeur' exits first, circles the car and opens the back door. From there, Pepper emerges, a cream-colored wool coat wrapped about her slim figure.

"We need to put it in the corner," the strawberry blonde directs, pointing to underscore, "It's easier to move it all into the basement from there."

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would enter in, glancing about over at Pepper as she would do so. "Greetings Pepper, Happy. Do you need a hand with anything?" She would inquire while moving over to be available to help. Glancing to Pepper, quipping, "What are you needing that for? In Siberia, this is close to summer weather. You might pass out from overheating in that." She would tease over while going to help out Happy if he needed it.

Pepper Potts has posed:
Once Pepper is out, her compansion swings around to the back, and with a quick chirp of a release button, the back door swings open, revealing several closed crates. He looks at them and exhales, ready to start the unpacking. "It's okay, Ms Romanoff. They're a little heavy." Did he really just...?

Pepper's brows rise at the quick, unthinking chivalrous remark before a chuckle exits, "I am getting ready to move to the Malibu headquarters for the winter," she says pointedly. "Snow is fine, but this grey, wet, 'not snow' is not for me." There is a grin that rises from that earlier soft laugh, "We don't have an office in Siberia. Thankfully." There is a quick quip that ends, "Yet. When that happens? I'll be adding a hat, scarf and thick socks and boots. You won't see me under the pile of coats until spring thaw."

All this, of course, leads up to, "How are you, Natasha?" as a greeting.

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would smile over at Pepper, "Ahh. I see, so you're taking your beach attire with you? You're traveling rather light." As opposed to needing a separate plane to be chartered to take all of her outfits with her. Pepper might not be that bad.. But, Natasha was reasonably sure that Janet was!

"I'm fine, Pepper. Obligations keep me busy." As they have since she was a young girl. That's something she's long since come to not mind. She'll have time for herself when she dies.

"Not going to be skiing while you're there? And will you remember to actually relax while you're down there or be flying bck three times a week for the latest crisis?"

Pepper Potts has posed:
"Yes. Lots of bathing suits, light business suits.." Pepper's tones sound wistful; she's ready to leave the cold behind! "I'm hoping Tony joins me, but.." there are those crises. "these," and she gestures towards the slowly growing pile of crates, "might keep him here." While the pair look to be in a still very strong relationship, tech toys do have their allure! "The best I can hope for is that he'll fly out." Or, and Pepper nods her agreement, "I'll probably fly back when needed.

"So.. should I bring you out so you can relax? Malibu has nice cliffs, the beaches are beautiful.."

Natasha Romanoff has posed:
Natasha Romanova would smile, "I'm sure he'll be there for part of the time. I don't think he can stay in the same place for long. He has too much wanderlust. He gets bored in the same place and with the same activities. Exploring is good for his psyche. I hoep that you have a good trip. And perhpas. But not now. Take care." Giving a bow and leaving
