You have not reached Tony Stark. Clearly. Leave a message and I'll get back to you if I feel like it.

[jolting]

Not really a pitch that would work on me, obviously.

[buildsomething]

Because you can see through it or because you don't care? Either works, frankly.

[jolting]

It's a pretty subjective term. I'm not interested in what he thinks is the "greater good". I'll do what I can to make sure he can't mess with people's minds.

[buildsomething]

Makes sense. Just watch your back. He's more slippery than he seems.

[jolting]

Should I be worrying about my family?

[buildsomething]

No. I doubt he'd go that far, especially when he's still playing the kindly old guy. He just has a way of getting into your head in ways that don't involve mind control.

[jolting]

So the less ammunition he has, the better. Noted.

Thank you.

[buildsomething]

Even trade.

[jolting]

Can I still come by and see your workshop lab?

[buildsomething]

Sure, door's open.

[jolting]

I appreciate it.

I don't suppose you're free for a small checkup?

[buildsomething]

For you? Always. Something wrong?

[sentiences]

I got into a fight with a crocodile.

[buildsomething]

[Well that's an answer. And could cover so many things.]

Did you win, at least?

[sentiences]

I didn't want to kill it. Someone managed to come by and tranq it.

[buildsomething]

Sounds like a yes, then.

How bad off are you?

[sentiences]

No major internal damage. But I need to be checked and get some cosmetic work done.

[buildsomething]

Fair enough. Swing on over whenever you like and we'll see what we can do.

[ voice > action ]

[sentiences]

Thanks, Tony

[ Dorian promptly arrives there. He doesn't look like much of a mess those the scrapes have clearly torn through his skin and the blue metallic glow was extremely visible. His fingers are twitching which is probably not a great sign. ]

Tony?

[potentialed]

Do you even drink tea?

[buildsomething]

Hey.

[Tony blinks at him as he appears out of the back of the workroom.]

So you weren't kidding, huh?

[buildsomething]

Are you purposefully missing the point?

[potentialed]

It's a simple question.

And the point stands that neither of us has tried reaching out to the other about things.

[ There. He'll own up to his side but you're just as culpable, Stark. ]

[buildsomething]

Fine. So what do you suggest we do about it?
