We could do that. alright, it's a deal.

[ have they been bargaining all this while? he seems to think so. he actually seems quite happy with this supposed agreement. ]

painting the wall shouldn't take too long, then we could go out and have some dinner. we'll make a day of it.

[mucked]

-- Quite convinced I didn't yet agree to painting the wall. Not with you, at least. You'll have to offer something better than dinner for that particular boon.

[ god, yes, they've been bargaining all this while. ]

[uprightness]

Will I?

[ so it's not over yet. well then. ]

Alright. What would it take?

[ as it turns out, her helping him with that wall might be worth a lot, indeed. ]

Name your price, I'll do it.

[mucked]

-- You're offering me carte blanche?

[ peggy doesn't trust it. that much is evident from the look in her eyes. ]

Are you sure that's wise?

[uprightness]

I'm pretty sure it isn't.

[ he cringes but all the while, he's nodding. no, he's not sure, yes, he's still offering it. it's the infamous captain america boldness. or stupidity. depends on who one asks. ]

better snag it, then.

[mucked]

-- Surely you won't make me name it right now.

[ he gives her the world; she asks for more. ]

[uprightness]

You make me sound so unfair.

[ but you know what? His mood is just merry enough that, ]

Take your time. We'll say I owe you one.

[mucked]

[ -- so much triumph ought to be outlawed. it's too uplifting; she nearly forgets to breathe. ]

I like the sound of that. [ taking her time. being owed one. there's something said for the fact that she doesn't demand he put the kibosh on his proposal attempts. no, she's saving her boon for something else. the opportunity will arise; she's certain of it. ] So. I suppose you and I are going paint-shopping.
