[And when you're healing from the kind of injuries he has, and trying to deal with the amount of pain he must be feeling. He needs to just accept the fact that he's out of it for a while, but if she was in his position she knows she sure wouldn't.]
Why? Do you have somewhere to be?
[That's a joke. Ha-ha, because he better not be leaving that bed!]
( yeah, sitting is gonna be a no-go right now, for the new flare of pain licking at his skin, so he gives up the effort, studying the curtain someone has thoughtfully drawn around his bed. )
[She thinks of all that Tony Stark has been through in recent years. The man deserves a break. It's unfortunate that he's had to come here and recover before being swept up in a mission of some kind. ]

The breath he sucks in through is nose crackles. )
Could be worse. Could be in a cave.
( He cranes to peer around the curtain the best he can. )
