[ oh my god this is worse than steve. he actually misses steve now. ]
anything else? because I already listened to the audio version of Jane Eyre, I don't need this whole Mr. Rochester speech. I'm in the middle of something.
[So it would seem that Peggy's phone does work after all. What anger had been there fades from Rip's voice and his expression alike, though he doesn't exactly look happy either.
Even if he is on some level relieved.]

[Considering they haven't ended this conversation and Tony seemingly hasn't moved. Congratulations Mr. Stark on raising entirely new concerns about monitoring.
