Is it that obvious? [Pepper ducks her head for a moment, laughing at herself, what she's just done. Of course she has every reason to be (for lack of a better word) starstruck, but from the outside it really must have looked a little fanciful. A grown woman reaching out as if she might touch a planet looming on the horizon.

She turns towards the stranger, taking him in, her gaze for a moment focusing on the odd little ball of fluff on his shoulder that she can just barely see. Seems an odd accessory choice, but considering that Pepper's in outer space? She's not really up on the latest extraterrestrial fashion trends.]

I'm Pepper Potts. [Offering a hand, she smiles towards this man.] And I'm guessing this is a bit beyond your first day, since you can pick out the newcomers with ease.
