The classroom today was very... fluffy. In fact, almost everything had been replaced by pillows. Weren't you all happy about that?

Tony was wearing dark sunglasses to sort of hide his hangover, but it did nothing to hide how surly last night had made him. Oops. "Morning, kids. Today we won't be debating."

Steve blew out a low breath and turned his attention to the students. "Not at all. Today we're going to be looking at cat videos. Or puppies. Or otters. And drinking hot chocolate. And saying nice things about each other."

"Plotting a coup," Tony muttered into his cup of coffee.

Steve poked him. "Not in front of the kids," he hissed.

"Yes, dear," Tony replied caustically. Then winced because oh god, his head. Extremis couldn't even knock it back completely. And, try as he might, he was lacking on inspiring speeches about unity at the moment. "Just... enjoy the baby animals."

They were so adorable and innocent!

Yeah, if Steve opened his mouth again, a rant about not going into the ice to face this bullshit again was imminent, so...baby animals.

"And we're here if you need a hug or a shoulder," he added.

Steve was adamantly not checking the news today. At all.

"I could use a hug."

A general lack of civic engagement meant Isabela was actually blissfully unaware that Kirkwall was actually loooking like a pretty good option, but since hugs had been offered...

"Of course," Steve said, smiling.

Poor, innocent, Steve.

Isabela held her arms wide open. "You're too kind."

Stop taking advantage of the nice super-soldier, Isabela.

Steve gave her a big hug. "Today, kindness matters."

Awww, Steve, why'd you have to be so earnest, now she was feeling guilty about planning to 'accidentally' grope that booty.

Not that it'd stop her doing it if the hug went on long enough, but she'd feel really bad about it.

Earnestness was also his superpower!

He gave her a reassuring little back pat.

Isabela couldn't help herself. Her hand slipped. Oops.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

Steve jumped back slightly and narrowed his eyes a bit. "Feeling better?"

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

[good_for_six]

Isabela looked as pure and innocent as the driven snow. "Very."

Even without the booty, Steve gave good hugs.

Re: Talk to Steve and Tony

Steve smiled. "Good. I'm here to help."

Oh, Steve.
