It was about noon in California, so it would be late afternoon in New York. With luck Dan would at least have his phone with him.

The phone rang about 6 times before Dan clamored it up and hit answer, not bothering to read the caller id.
"Daniel Dreiberg speaking."

"What? No, no I'm in the workshop, had the uh sewing machine going. Didn't hear the phone till the last ring."
He stretched before remembering he was on a stool and had to steady himself. It was nice to hear Adrians voice, he hadn't heard another person's voice since Peter a few days earlier.

"Sewing?"
Adrian pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Well, it's not like I can stop you."

"I'm just hemming some pants" it wasn't a lie he told himself as he held up the first of many suits he was making for Peter.

"Then you wouldn't need an industrial sewing machine," Adrian said dryly.

"Oh yea you've seen my sewing- look don't worry about it, it's not for me anyway. How's California?"

Adrian logged that away to address later.
"The weather's been beautiful, and the company..."
He smiled despite himself.
"The company even moreso."

Dan smiled, acknowledged the jealousy and quickly pushed it down. If this were to work he had to be understanding and open minded.
He suddenly felt very guilty about hiding his involvement with the Taskforce, but he still wasn't sure how to explain it to him.
"Oh?" His response was one of gentle teasing.

"You'd adore her," Adrian commented.

"Well, tell me about her" Dan was curious, he hadn't had the pleasure as he always seemed to be off someplace else when Loki and Teja were around. Its possible that it was planned that way, but he didn't think too hard about it.
He attached an av cord to his phone and plugged it in to a set of speakers so that he could still hear Adrian as he worked. He was designing a few logos based on Peters drawings.

Adrian frowned slightly at the rental listings before him on the screen.
"Well, she's a perfect counterpoint to how you seem to prefer going about things, critic that she is. It's rather endearing, really."

"Endearing seems to be your type" Dan chuckled, as he stretched a piece of fabric in a sewing circle and clasped it in place. "I've seen a few pictures and she's uh, pretty damn attractive if I can be shallow for a second."

Adrian laughed.
"That too. I'll have to introduce you when we're back in New York. I really ought to tell her more about you as well-"
