The door's opened to Tony's room and Lily stepped in carefully, uncertain of what she would find. The loud retching echoed from his bathroom and Lily took a moment to squeeze her eyes shut. It wasn't that Tony was necessarily annoying when he was in this situation, but he definitely turned into a big baby who is in need of all of your attention, and with Pepper currently out of state, it seemed to fall into her hands. Great.
