Tony Stark, on the other hand, does not. At least, not as much as doctors say he should, or as much as Pepper tells him he should, or as much as he knows he should. And that was true even before the last six hellish months happened.
Anyway. Pepper sleeps and he doesn't, and he'd rather not disrupt the former because of the latter, especially when Pep needs all the rest she can get. She probably won't notice he's slipped out of the tent for another few hours at least, which is why he takes as much time as he needs to sit and think (or try not to think), his hands twisting uselessly between his bent knees. It's a testament to a lot of things that he doesn't jump when Hawke settles against him, just glances sideways out of the corner of his eye.
The silence sits for a long while before he pipes up. ]
Probably doesn't mean much to you dragon land people, but I'm pretty sure tonight's Christmas.
