Tony's Phone Message

[arrogantalloy]

 

"Looks like you've missed me. Don't feel bad, I'm kind of a busy guy. If you need to leave me a message. Press 1 and talk, I'll get back to you when I notice. If you're calling because you need something built or repaired, go on and press 2 and be directed to the Stark Mobile Solutions line, I'll probably get back to that quicker."

Stress makes me say unfriendly things to everyone, Tony.

[arrogantalloy]

You need a better coping mechanism. Stress balls, yoga, weed, sounds of the sea.

[eagletalons]

Tony, I don't understand all of what you just said.

[Read: Stop being such an Earth person.]

[arrogantalloy]

You don't understand the sounds of the sea?

voice;

[eagletalons]

I don't remember much of my only time at a sea-side city in my world, and I was too busy doing other things during my time in Olivine. [Especially since Bodhum was overshadowed by DEATH, FAL'CIE, MILITARY AND BEING A FUGITIVE just days after arriving.]

[arrogantalloy]

Hmm. You do know this only solidifies the fact that you really need to just take a break, right? Keep winding yourself up, you're going to snap.

I've seen it happen. It's not pretty.

voice;

[eagletalons]

I'll rest when this is said and done. Not during.

voice;

[arrogantalloy]

Wow. So that's what it sounds like to be on the other side of the sentence.

Well, okay, suit yourself then. But hey, some people like you, so don't push yourself too far. They'll worry.

[Tony's not one of them. He figures Hope can look after himself, he just felt like sounding responsible.]

voice;

[eagletalons]

They're exactly the reason why I'm doing this. [You can practically imagine the way he's rubbing his temples right now.] So excuse me for doing my best to be there now.

voice;

[arrogantalloy]

[There's a moment of silence as Tony looks at the comm with a face that says "Really?"]

Well, I guess you're excused then.

voice;

[eagletalons]

Thank you. [Most bland tone ever.]

voice;

[arrogantalloy]

You're welcome.

[You can just hear the amused grin in his voice.]
