Feel free to re-gift or throw in a drawer or something.
[ yep, and theeeere's the feelings. a pause settles between his next message, in which jack tries to... deal with everything in his head. a lot of things he doesn't know how to explain or feel about or process. ]

No, I like it.

Thank you.

Something else - there's another person here from Shiloh aside from my sister; David Shepherd. He's good with his hands, natural with mechanics, but isn't familiar with any of the higher tech stuff here.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
He's on Orange, but needs to get up to date, or at least closer, here, to be of good use. If I said pretty please, could you take him under your generous wing?

What's it supposed to metaphorically unlock, or are we just a fan of the aesthetic?
no subject
More like a fan of the designer.

Thanks for the watch.
[That's pretty much all Tony is going to say because he still doesn't know how to deal with gratitude or not ruin the mood with stupid one-liners.]
no subject
No problem. Thought it maked the chest piece.
[ jack doesn't really handle Moments any better. ]
no subject
Very few things do. That's why I appreciate it.

Good. Did you have a lovely time on our vacation?
:|a You are perfect from bottom to top
Could've used more snow.
[Of course he's not serious in the slightest.]

I can't say no to a pretty please.

Does he know that you're asking around for a tutor?
no subject
He knows I told him to look into it. He's had a lot on his plate lately.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
And he's shy. [ lolololol ]
no subject
Does that mean I have to say hi instead of waiting for him to come to me first?
no subject
Are you shy too, Tony?
no subject
Just wondering if I should be expecting a call.
no subject
Not that I'd expect, unless he grows a pair and becomes a social butterfly.
no subject
And you're leaving it up to me to extend the offer of tutelage.
FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org
Don't blame me if he can't handle it.
no subject
Is it going to be too much for you? I can be the messenger if it's overtaxing you.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
He'll live. He's like Rogers, but more reserved about his opinions and a lot shorter. And actually funny on occasion.
no subject
So almost nothing like Rogers.
FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org
I'll give your buddy Dave a call. Promise.
no subject
I guess so. Consider it redacted.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
You're a peach.
no subject
I know.
FROM: stark.anthony@cdc.org
Thanks again for the watch.
no subject
Thanks for the key.
[ that is very genuinely meant. it does mean a great deal to him and he'll be keeping it in mind. ]
