"Silly rabbit," Tony rattles his tiny cereal box around, digging for the last bits of anything edible. Her selection doesn't get past him. He squints hard at the box in her hands while she settles against the desk. "Crispix? Does Shady Pines know you escaped? Are we gonna go play shuffle board after this? How about bingo?"

He still can't quite imagine Lichfield losing it on someone. It's just... She's always so nice. "No amount of yelling would be enough to magically alter your contract," Tony says with mild shurg. "Pepper can't actually fire you. Only I can."

Okay, Pepper can insist he fire her. And draft the paperwork and be a pest about it, and generally do everything but swing the axe. But even if Tony's not CEO Lichfield still works for him, so. Still the boss. He can't say it doesn't amuse him a little.
