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

[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?

[buildsomething]

Hey.

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

So you weren't kidding, huh?

[sentiences]

No?

Why would I be kidding?

[buildsomething]

Figure of speech.

[He smiles a little as he gestures at Dorian to come further into the space.]

So let's take a look at you. Any internal injuries?

[sentiences]

[ It takes him a moment to respond as he shuffles closer. ]

I don't think so. I would notice that kind of injury.

[buildsomething]

Good to know. Mind if I do a scan?

[sentiences]

[ Dorian nods. ]

Of course.

[buildsomething]

Awesome. J?

[There's a brief pause.]

Have I introduced you to JARVIS yet? Meet JARVIS.

[He waves vaguely around the workshop like that's supposed to help.]

[sentiences]

[ Dorian is more than familiar with AI houses so he merely glances upward with a polite smile. ]

Hello, JARVIS. How are you today?

[buildsomething]

Fine, thank you Mr Dorian. If you will hold still for a moment, please.

[There's a second of bright light before a glowing wireframe of Dorian's general form begins to pick itself out in the air next to him. Before long, it's fairly detailed, right down to the damaged bits.]

Okay. So I think I can probably fix most of it. [Tony's looking thoughtful, attention mostly on the scan.] Not sure about the skin, though. Do you know what it's made of?

[sentiences]

[ Dorian frowns, mulling it over. ]

It's just synthetic. I'm not sure of its makeup though.

[buildsomething]

Synthetic, okay. Well. We can focus on the electronics first and then see what we can do about that.

[He frowns thoughtfully at the scan, then turns that look on Dorian himself.]

Anything you want me to focus on first?

[sentiences]

Circuitry. That's always been tricky.

One time wires crossed and I was singing Korean pop for hours.

[buildsomething]

[It startles a laugh out of Tony as he tries to usher Dorian over towards one of the clearer worktables.]

We'll see if we can avoid that. Do you need to shut down or anything while I'm working?

[sentiences]

No, I don't think so.

[ Rudy has worked on him while he's been conscious. Dorian climbs onto the table, lying down. ]

[buildsomething]

Alright, fair enough.

[Tony does flick him a look as he goes to collect his tolls, though.]

Want to watch a movie or something? It can't be that interesting to just hang out there.

[sentiences]

[ It's true, though Dorian is used to it. ]

What kind of movie?

[buildsomething]

Uh, I've got kind of a lot of options. J, give him the list?

[Agreeably enough, a glowing list of movie titles pops up within Dorian's eyeline. Not as many as Tony might have had at home, but still a pretty decent amount.]

[sentiences]

[ Dorian squints at the list. ]

I think you better pick one.
