[ Her tone stays soft and almost hushed, even. Somehow, neither the somber mood of the house or the lateness of the hour lend themselves to speaking any louder. She steps close enough for her leg to nudge Tony's knee, tucking her hands into the pockets of her robe and mustering a small smile; but it's mostly sad and kind of a pitiful effort. ]
It was a little lonely, in there.
[ Their room, she means, little alien pig aside. But there's no judgment in her voice. She's long since accepted they rarely went to bed together, considering how little Tony slept in general. Not that she didn't give a valiant effort to get him to sleep more, but that's not the point now.
Right now, she just wants to be close to him for a while. Sympathy's written all across her expression as she tips her head a little, her loose hair swinging slightly with the motion. ] Are you okay?
[ She's thinking not so much. He'd known Elena longer than Pepper had, after all. ]
