What| Pepper goes exploring
Where| EVERYWHERES (Feel free to tag while she's out or when she's back.)
When| Few days after her arrival
Warnings/Notes| hm... Pepper puns?
Pepper had been roaming around the training center for a few days since her arrival, but well yeah, other than her dorm and the actual training gym where she failed at most things she had decided to try to clear her head with a walk around the capitol.
“This is so not New York…” Problem was, she wasn’t sure if it was better yet or not, but she would admit she was enjoying some of the snacks she had bought so far. She wasn’t sure about the clothes yet, but the stylists hadn’t had bad taste so far, she was currently wearing a short skirt, a little longer than what she usually wore, but still above the knees and a sleeveless hooded top.
Popping one of the sweets she had bought into her mouth she grinned at the flavor, it was sweet, and unlike fruit punch candies back home, this one you could easily taste each fruit in it. “Okay, this might be a little better than home…” Would be better with Gene or Tony to walk around with, shaking that thought from her head she continued walking, the candies slipped away for now, she’d share them with her district mates. It was a good way to make friends right?
A few hours later Pepper was walking through the lobby humming softly to herself, the loot of her trip in a bag in one hand. “Shoot. Could you hold the elevator?” She saw the doors closing and ran for them hopping to catch it so she could get back to her room to relax a bit before dinner.

She terrifies him, to be honest.
Pepper. Tiny Pepper. Not his Pepper, but it's enough of a tease he's got no damn idea what to make of it.
Was she there because of him? And if so... what the fuck were they trying to do here? It was weird, and strange, and yet he couldn't help but want to just wrap the girl up and keep her safe.
So he holds the door for her out of just general courtesy, because Tony can actually be a nice guy sometimes, but the odd stare is specially for her.
"Retail therapy?" he notes the bags she carries.

"Could say that. Though not as fun if you're really not sure of what's what. This isn't like slipping off to Chinatown." Hey she'll be nice. "And I behaved, Only because I think the stylists would have gotten mad if I went shoe shopping." She sets the larger bag down once she's in the elevator though. "Were you going up? Because I don't mean to keep you from anything you were going to do Mr. Stark." She can't bring herself to call him Tony yet, it would be too weird with her crush on hers back home and... Pepper shakes her head a moment, she's not going to think about Tony or Gene today.
"Though wonder if they'll have a problem if I bought a few skirts... I didn't, just, they seem to get mad if you don't want to wear what they want you to. Just glad they haven't decided to mess with my hair yet." She'd be horrified if they colored it.
sorry this is so late. :c
He looked again at the bags and shrugs. "Couldn't say about skirts though. I think they like you to want to fit in. You find anything good?"
It's cool I'll tag forever
"Saw some stuff I liked, ended up just getting chocolates and there's this cute shop a few blocks away with really cute cakes so bought one to share with the others in my district. Figure more of them I make friends with maybe... I'll be counted less as a target." Hey she knows she's no fighter.
