And that did make Summer wince a little, sucking in a breath between her teeth, which she knew was probably not encouraging, but, look, the thing with a question like that was that, depending on how you interpreted it...
"No?" she offered, with what was meant to be an encouraging, hopeful kind of lift to her voice. "I mean, not, like, leaving leaving. As in, not leaving the planet, or the solar system, or, like, the dimension or whatever. At least I don't plan to, but you know that's not something that I can guarantee--"
She realized that this was not helping, and so she stopped abruptly and redirected her course of explanation.
"Listen," she said, holding up her hands, "I know I was acting...weird last week right before I turned into a squirrel, and I was acting weird yesterday when I turned back from a squirrel, which is, like, really hypocritical of me because I'm the one who's always all, 'don't be weird about itnot going to be weird about it now, I'm just going to come out and say it, Stark, and I'm sorry, I really am, but I really don't think this is working out for me anymore. Right now. Like, at this moment, so am I leaving physically? No, but, like, emotionally? Relationship-ly? Uhhhh, kiiiiind offffff?"
And now she was holding that wince as she looked over at Stark to just sort of gauge how he was going to take all of....you know...that.
If the answer ended up being him just turning into a koala, though, she was probably going to be a little irritated about it, but, also, like, fair and she'd be no one to talk.
