Another key point, though subtle

OH, yes, another lovely post!

Phil and Jarvis are working * together * now, fully equal and bringing their A game to --

picking out a pair of jammies.

I can definitely see Tony casually mentioning, "Hey, my tailor's exclusive, you guys will keep him from being bored," rather than the more practical, and personal, reasons that some of the others would have to actually seek out a tailor. Black Widow has some pretty specific needs for her range of movement, Steve and Thor both make off-the-rack look like straitjackets, for example.

Tony wouldn't see how someone could be uncomfortable with THINGS instead of WORDS-- think about how much of his past experiences involve the other person throwing presents or hobbies at him instead of actually TALKING with him. It's completely plausible that he has to stop and parse out the differences between why Bruce, Steve and Clint each seem to just pick whatever's handy instead of going for a more personalized (often of necessity, also tailored) wardrobe. "They grew up with way less money than I did," is barely the tip of that particular iceberg.

Despite the small details of the scene, and its brevity, I /feel/ the dynamic between Phil and Jarvis is much easier, much more solid on both sides. Phil is definitely more relaxed and has dealt with most of the worry about Jarvis, and Phil's own lingering guilt and shame.

It also seems like the story is getting ready to wrap, sadly. The only thing that keeps that idea from being TERRIBLE, is, of course, that as soon as it ends, I can click the first chapter and re-read straight THROUGH.

Thanks for posting this. Next chapter on Wednesday?
