Hello, this is Edwin Jarvis; I'm unable to answer the phone at the moment, but leave a message and I assure you I will respond as soon as possible.

[He brightens and is totally not grave anymore, because birthdays are joyous sunbeams shed on people as they grow.]

Oh, yes, of course!! Mr. Stark has me fetch her flowers for the occasion.

I'm quite skilled at covert birthday gifts and celebrations.

Action

[uprightness]

Well, we don't have flowers but I thought, maybe we can still aim for a cake. Figured no one knows what she likes better than you.

[ and no one better to ask for help, then. ]

Action

[edwinjarvis]

Oh, in that case, I can be more than happy to provide.

Perhaps I could prepare some of the food I've noticed she steals from my kitchen most of all.

... Her appetite is as terrifying as her heel size.

Action

[uprightness]

It's because she never sits still.

[ or at least it's his current theory. ]

You know, she thinks I should learn how to cook.

Action

[edwinjarvis]

A logical conclusion, sir.

[woops sorry the sir just slipped out

anyway]

... Would you like to learn how to cook?

Action

[uprightness]

Steve.

[ he hurries to correct. he hasn't been 'sir' since...ever. ]

I only know how to boil things, figures I should. We might not always have a cook on the Starstruck.

Action

[edwinjarvis]

Hmm...

Do you fancy yourself strategic?

It's not much different from that. Having a strategy and following a recipe, they're quite similar.

Action

[uprightness]

I highly doubt you get to your level of cooking by simply following orders, Mr. Jarvis.

[ he says that with a small, appreciative smile. what. so he always gets a second and third helping of what he brings to the starstruck, so sue him. ]

Must be more to it.

Action

[edwinjarvis]

Of course there is!

Determination, practice, patience, and careful planning, Mr. Rogers.

[NOD, NOD.]

... I appreciate that you enjoy my work, however. I'm afraid I pale in comparison to my granny, god rest her soul, but I can always at least teach you how not to burn a casserole.

Action

[uprightness]

I guess it would be one hell of a start.

[ and alright, perhaps the enthusiasm is infectious. ]

Whenever you have time, I'll drop by.

Action

[edwinjarvis]

By all means, Mr. Rogers — any time.
