{And there’s a particular 
             urge 
 To actually twist the wires 
 Off the arm of the man 
            harshly. 
 But tony stops.
  
 He’s better than that.
           Sometimes.         }

        ^{Your darling father worked with Steve. So did I.
                    I was in the army with the lug.
      So, I did know your father – didn’t like him, but I did know him.}

     ^{[ james rolls up the sleeve of his shirt
     and gives a gentle huff, the strong
     metal glinting in the light. the
     awkward tense nature was something
     he could get used to. maybe.
     he’d make up an ideal on stark 
     if he stayed around. ]}
