This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

"I gave you space until you were mostly comfortable with the idea. Or I assumed you were comfortable with the idea. So. Mostly? Sort of. Ish." All things being relative to one another he couldn't pinpoint exactly when Bruce got roped into dealing with his skin hunger or habit of reaching out for more than idle contact. Probably the first or second time he'd shuffled over to Bruce as the only solid source of both warmth and caffeine that early in the morning/afternoon/whatever.

Probably.

That's usually how it happened. "That's...I'm pretty sure that's a good date? A normal person date. Sounds like a normal person date." Like either of them are any kind of normal. "Seriously. You've got my- blessing? Approval. Go forth, woo the spider."

"If you waited, you'd be waiting a long time. It's fine, it's better than fine. I was starved for sure." For affection, for kindness, for friendship. Tony gave him all of that, and then the Avengers also added their own support and Bruce was the happiest he'd been since the accident. He didn't regret that part in the least.

Bruce feels better being reassured that was normal, because whether or not Tony is the best guide for this, he's the only guide available for him. He's not going to constantly ask his advice though. Really what this was about was getting Tony's approval, and he has to accept that he's being told the truth without seeing his friend's face. "Thank you. I'm going to try." And he's hopeful, because Nat isn't someone who would give false hope to anyone. He smiles and hugs Tony as best as he can while in the costume.
