[ Apartment in the background, Howard appears on the screen dressed as if he's preparing to head out, and as the device moves around with him there's a half-empty bottle of something on the coffee table with a slip of paper beside it - a small, simple note he found on Father's Day that he may or may not have spent some time staring down at. ]

Looks as if Tony ain't here no more.

[ A door slams behind him, the image shaky as he works his way through the building, and for once he doesn't look into the machine, even worryingly shying away from it, because Howard is Howard and showing emotions healthily isn't what he does. ]

But life goes on, don't it? Got full access to everything in the lab as a parting gift. Gonna be at the club if anyone wants to join me for a good time in celebrating.

[ And as he enters the cool evening air, the feed cuts off and he heads towards his destination if anyone happens to come across him along the way. ]

You sure that's a good idea? Tony does come back and finds me with his lady friend he ain't gonna be pleased.

Protecting her?

Private | unhackable | Tony's Codes

[latenightfondue]

'Course protecting her, Cap, what else d'you think I'd be doing?

[ Look, if there's a cheeky smirk in there, it's in the same of fun. Even he knows not to cross that kind of line. ]
