A true travesty. [ Smiling wryly, she takes a sip from her mug. ]

I doubt you'll run out of opportunities here, though. Even if it requires you to actually work while working.

[otiosity]

Who wants to actually work while working? Seems like a waste of time and effort.

[efficacy]

You don't really know what "working" actually means, do you? [ She's joking -- mostly. ]

[otiosity]

Of course I do.

It's just highly unconventional.

[efficacy]

That's one word for it. [ She hides a smile behind another sip of coffee. ]

Feeling any better? We'll go find that pharmacy when you do.

[ She wasn't kidding about that, this is happening today!! ]

[otiosity]

I'm ready to be done drowning in my own snot, so yes.

[Hawke stands up, yawns, rubs at her face, and then gestures to Pepper and then the door.]

I've got a motorbike now.

[efficacy]

...A what, now?

[ THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY BAD IDEA TO HER. She makes sure the coffee maker and the stove are both turned off and that she has her TAB with her before joining Hawke. ]

When did this happen?

[otiosity]

A motorbike!

[Hawke replies cheerfully as she shoves some tissues into her pocket and heads out the door to the garage that Tony hasn't taken over. Indeed, there is a motorcycle sitting there off to the side.]

A few weeks ago. Figured I ought to find a way to get around that doesn't make me vomit.

[efficacy]

Oh, boy. [ She's not sure how to feel about Hawke on a motorbike. Actually no, she does: she has a bad feeling about it. ]

Falling and cracking your skull open is better? You do have a helmet, right?

[ MOTHERING INTENSIFIES. ]

[otiosity]

A helmet? It's like riding a horse, not charging into battle.

[SO NO.]
