Milliways's appearance on the other side of the bathroom door is unexpected, but more acceptable than it would have been fifteen minutes ago. Obadiah is fresh from a shower, his sleeves worn just a little longer than usual. His business in the room he was using is concluded, and he doesn't see why he can't get a drink before he goes home.

"Good," he teases. "It's good that you noticed that."

"Well, I'm not completely morally bankrupt," he smiles.

"I know," he says comfortably.

Yes, he believes there is something in Obadiah Stane that resembles a heart.

[ironmonger]

Isn't he sweet.

(Obadiah does not share that assessment.

Then again, Obadiah has never had a very good relationship with the truth.)
