( 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. ]

( He cranes to peer around the curtain the best he can. )

it's cool!
Home would be pretty nice right now.
