When Tony Stark looked back on it, his own check-in date felt like absolute ages away. Really, it had been two months. Time was supposed to speed up as you aged, but novelty slowed it down. Those were the theories, anyway. Tony swore the gray hair put on his head would come out pink, just to twist that knife.
Honestly, however, despite his many grievances, life at the hotel could approach acceptable. Or at least preside in the same zip code as it. Somewhat.
All these things, Tony contemplated over his chicken scramble. He had taken to rewarding himself for peaceful check ins with a decent night's sleep and a hearty breakfast before he inevitably descended into a caffeine-shambling workaholic trance in the days to follow.
When he glanced over a few stools down to take stock of this morning's company, F.R.I.D.A.Y. was quick to note the lack of recognition of the young woman who was joining him. Easily remedied. "You found the food. Important first step." For Tony, his encouraging tone still rang dry to most ears.
