That would be a hard situation to inherit. Aqua might not know Pepper, they haven't met yet, but she can tell that Pepper must have been close with Tony. Either way, Brigitte is hurting and so Aqua does the only thing she can.

"I may not know a lot about forge work-" Brigitte knows that from their first meeting. "-but I might be able to help you divide up the work and keep track of what still needs to be done." It's the least she can do, especially since she really doesn't have much of a job here herself yet.

The following question gets gentle shake of Aqua's head. She hasn't seen a couple of people since their initial meetings, but she doesn't know for sure of anyone who has disappeared permanently. "Not that I know of," she says softly. She has been lucky in that regard. "But I really haven't been a resident of this world long enough to make many friends." Brigitte is definitely one of her closest friends here and Aqua would probably do just about anything for her at this point.
