[ Steve nods. It's not a whole hell of a lot, but it's the only option he has left. It feels wrong, considering Tony - the real Tony - and he had never gotten to have this conversation. But, he obviously had left this recording in preparation for it, so he has to hope that some way he'll know that things did get better.
He chuckles quietly under his breath. ]
Not yet. I know it's coming, though. I tried to show her how to fish, but she ended up not being too impressed with it. Instead she somehow managed to convince me to have a tea party with her.
[ Not that it had been that hard, really. All Morgan had done was turn those big brown eyes at him, and he had caved within a second. Pepper had found it entirely too amusing when she found them on the porch, two hours later, surrounded by a good portion of her stuffed animals and sharing imaginary tea. ]
We've all been visiting, helping Pepper with Morgan. And Morgan letting us hang out with her. She's a great kid, Tony.
[ It's got to be enough, then. This small, stolen moment. Tony would hope that it would be enough, if he couldn't be here. ]
Fishing? Yeah, I'm not surprised that didn't work out. She's too energetic for that. [ He chuckles though, at the mention of the tea party, and the corner of his mouth tucks into the side of his cheek. ] Please tell me she made you wear the hat and someone got a picture, cause I need that.
Glad to hear it. I can't imagine it's been ---easy for everyone. But it worked, right? Future saved for another generation? Worth it.
