[ She speaks mildly, a tease in those words. Of course she'd meant staying in a general sense, nothing specific like he's implying. But it's like Tony to cover all bases but the important ones, and Pepper knows that too. Still, she has her own ideas, and while they might not be what he expects, it's not as if he wouldn't enjoy them. Eventually.
The hand he isn't holding rests on his shoulder, and she uses it for a bit of leverage, leaning forward as if to whisper something. Like they're not alone now, like it could be a secret no one else should know just yet. Instead, she simply presses a kiss to the corner of his mouth, chaste and simple and particularly fleeting. Then, she's gone from his personal space, withdrawing both hands and stepping back as though she intends to leave him there on the steps.
