It was a few minutes later that Kagome returned, pausing momentarily when she spotted Tony sitting at the table as well. She continued to her spot, offering a 'good morning' to which Tony grunted his return.
Pepper watched the proceedings between the two. It seemed like an everyday breakfast, only, there was no talking at all between them. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. For now.
"Did you get in touch with your mother?"
"Ah, yes. She is... happy, that I... safe." Kagome furrowed her brows, struggling with her words.
The opening Pepper needed.
"Tony, I think we should get Kagome a tutor."
The man himself looked up from his plate, looking at her before turning to Kagome, who was also paying attention to the turn in conversation.
"A tutor? For what?"
As much as she loved the man, he could be clueless in rare moments. Like now.
"It's apparent that Kagome is struggling with English. Understanding is different that speaking or writing."
"Hmmm. We'll buy Rosetta Stone and get JARVIS to tutor her."
Pepper paused and blinked. And blinked again, then one final time. "Rosetta Stone?"
"No?"
AN: Well, here's some actual interaction! I'm so glad that you all are so enjoying the story so far, got so many ideas, just have to put them into actual words and save them. Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
