"By the Mothman." It's a beat too late, waiting for Rhodey to crack a joke that isn't there for the shell to shatter and it's- he swallows back the reflexive disappointment. It's temporary. It is temporary. He'll get Rhodey back and they'll laugh at this later for all that it feels like he's staring at a stranger. Everyone he's ever met, the only person that figured him out in less than an hour?

Had been Rhodey. He looked at Tony and he saw him but now?

"Yeah. It, uh. I just need to see if anyone has- and this is fucking hilarious- forget-me-nots. I'll put a call out on the network, it'll be fine." It needs to be fine he needs to be able to fix this but they're coming into the fall, what are the odds of the flowers sticking around as the weather goes cold? Is Rhodey going to be stuck like this until spring?
