Summary: New Year's Eve Party
The Story:

[ Previously in the month all residents received an invitation to a formal event: a black tie affair to ring in the New Year. The ballroom and adjacent areas are decked out for the party starting at eight o'clock sharp, meticulously planned and executed, glittering décor to match the no doubt glittering attire as music pours into the halls from the dance floor.

Bars flank each side, service for all manner of alcohol unless a minor requests something, and the primary setting stage features an enormous clock for the countdown. ]




[ Where will you be when the clock strikes midnight? ]

So it seems we are both of us capable of making friends. [ deprecating for the pair of them. ] Well done us.

[ he lifts his glass and drains it with a quiet salute, as if saying I'll drink to that without outright saying it. as he pours himself another he gives her a look. when he smiles, it's almost soft. ]

I'm going to be okay.

[ he doesn't say that she's only hovering about of concern, he doesn't send her off to other friends and other conversations and other dances. it seems that for once, tony stark does the right thing and only acknowledges her concern rather than flatly denying it. ]

...I would expect nothing else.

[ they're made of sterner stuff, aren't they? tender spots and soft bellies aside, she knows there's stark blood in him -- for better or for worse -- and that comes with certain expectations. more than that (much more than that) she knows that at one point steve and tony worked shoulder to shoulder.

whatever happened, whatever put that rift between them, it won't change the fact that once upon a time steve respected this man. likely still does. she'll never tell tony, but that distinction means a damned lot. ]
