"Well, SHIELD wants their 'clean energy source' back. Who am I to deny them?"
Kagome raised a brow at the question, but she also didn't miss how he stressed the bit on clean energy source. And she had also mentally questioned that one when she had read the files. As far as she knew, her father had been the only one working on clean energy.
"You are Tony Stark. From what I've read and learned about you since moving in, is that you take your own road. Especially when a situation you're not happy about arises."
"You... If I didn't know any better, I'd say you had been hanging around a certain someone for too long." Tony grumbled under his breath as he returned his attention back to the table to finish his breakfast.
Furrowing her brows, but smiling nonetheless, she couldn't help but wonder who he meant, voicing her question out loud.
"Don't worry, someone you don't know. And as long as I have a say, you won't either."
She took the words in, as well as how he looked at the moment. It somewhat reminded her of how Miroku would look when Sango or strange women one upped him. "They're a woman aren't they? This person you don't want me to meet. I can only wonder what she did to you that makes you not want me anywhere near her."
His own eyes narrowed on her slightly. "How is it you came to that conclusion?"
"Your facial expression as you were talking about this... person." Propping her chin in her free hand as she leaned her elbow on the table, she smirked at his sour look.
"You got that from my expression alone?"
"No. I also took in how your voice tensed with emotion on certain points in your sentence. I learned a great deal about observation while traveling."
"Observation?"
"Seeing the world and working things out. Quickly. Not simply looking at the world. You're the same way when you're working on the things you're passionate about." She was smiling by now and Tony could only return it, having decided on what he was going to do.
