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

[ Tony's expression shifts like he's not sure if he wants to be amused or exasperated or both or neither, but in the end he just lets out a long slow breath. ]

I'm working on it. But you might have noticed that he's a little on the stubborn side.

[ Which is a bit like describing water as a little wet, but whatever. ]

He gets it into his head that he has to do things by himself. [ And because Tony is Tony, he can't help adding a dnost and, ] Sound familiar?

[He crosses his arms and HUFFS.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, MR. STARK, HMMM.]

I asked for help just now, didn't I?

[buildsomething]

I'm just saying.

[ Such a bland tone. Clearly, he doesn't mean anything at all. ]

Anyway, I'll talk to him if I see him. He doesn't come by too often.

[madeupnames]

[... Fine, fine.

He ices his brow with a wince.]

Hey, that's something, at least. And I'll let you know if we get into another boxing match.

[buildsomething]

I appreciate that.

[ It might be dry, but it's still true. ]

Just hang out for a while, you're not in the way.

[madeupnames]

[He says immediately, with extra sass:]

You want me to hang out literally or non-literally?

[buildsomething]

Non literally. Keep your footprints off my ceiling, please.

[ File that under things he never thought he'd have to say. Kids, man. ]

[madeupnames]

[He gives a salute.]

Roger that, Mr. Iron Man, sir. No ceiling prints.
