[ to be fair, she wasn't ready to see him yet. she spent the first day or so sleeping off the heaviest of the drugs strange had given her, and half of the next avoiding anything that involved social contact with anyone she knew. the last thing she wanted was a lecture, and who better to likely give one than the two better agents on this planet?
but by the time fitz sends a message, she's on the edge of readiness for human company. might take her a minute or so to come up with a reply, but she does. eventually. ]
i feel like i got hit by a truck, tbh every time i try to get up, some invisible elves are stabbing me in the ribs
[ she could lie, but she doesn't want to do that with him. ]
[ there'll be no lecture from fitz. that's not his role in the team, even here, and he doesn't feel in control enough to try his hand at it — or secure enough in his present relationship with daisy.
he's been slipping since he was thrust from the framework, and he let himself drift in her presence once already, with frightening results. so, he keeps a safe distance, even in his personal dealings. better for everyone, that way. ]
You did get hit by several, small tanks, in your defence.
[ she appreciates the reassurance. makes her feel less like she brought shame and dishonor upon the shield name, and more like she slipped up in the field but remained a worthy investment all the same. fitz may not feel equipped or authorized to give a lecture, but she knows she probably deserves one.
bobbi will step in, though, to fill the gaps. she always does. ]
i would straight up kill a man for some froyo
[ is this the good place or the bad place ]
if you can figure out how to get it here without being covered in melty nondairy goop, i'll owe you one
[ fair enough. she doesn't expect fitz to drop everything to deliver her snacks, so the delay isn't a personal slight. it's just business as usual for her too-talented, too-invested, too-involved friend. finding personal hours for froyo dates isn't exactly top priority.
but eventually, fitz does come, and in turn, daisy smiles. it's a little weaker than her usual, but no less sincere. ]
Hey, nerd. [ teasing!! ribbing!! look, she's not totally broken and busted inside. ] Took you long enough.

On it, no murder required.
