Klaus knows what eyes feel like when they follow him across a room and it's no different here, when he settles down on his yoga mat. He doesn't acknowledge it; they've slept together already, after all, but there's a tiny little victory in there still. He'd expected a complete mess, from what Pepper had said, and to see there's something of that playboy still beneath a guarded surface? Well, well, well.
But he doesn't bother to move, either, once he rolls to face the man, head leaned into one palm. "I like to keep my options open to the various levels of despair one might face in life. Even if your despair for the next month is nothing but a yoga-induced hell, I take great delight in it. After thirty days, you can be free of me without charge, you know. Your little friend, Pepper? She can write a contract sharp enough to slay a man."
The afternoon weather holds up, clear skies and balmy breeze. Again, Klaus finds himself envious of the view. To have a slice of a beach that close, private and tucked away? He'd love to bring Claire here, let her splash in the waters and collect shells that tourists and vacationers haven't yet gotten their paws on.
"Any party I attended was a party you should not have missed. No party can be boring so long as I'm there, didn't you learn that last time?" He laughs softly, plucking a blade of grass and tossing it at Tony before he rolls onto his back again, tipping his face up into the sun, arms stretched over his head in the grass. It's easy, keeping up the playful tone, digging into the soft spot of conversation between them. They've acknowledged the pain, the tension, but now he wants to bring some levity to Tony Stark, the human being. Klaus knows what it's like to wake up every day feeling like a shell of yourself, and sometimes the normalcy of those around you can help fill that tank.
"You missed very little. But all that means is we can make up for it with parties of our own. I've been known to do a little spicy mix of dancercize and yoga if that will really get the blood boiling."
He smirks at the thought. "But I have the feeling the only one really wanting to see me in my yoga pants has the good fortune to be doing live sessions on the reg with me now. In fact, I think your little Pepper has me booked twice a week. Whatever will you do but pine for me in all your free time."
