"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."

Date: 2013-09-20 11:53 am (UTC)You once asked me [more like challenged, really] if I found attraction to other men 'disturbing'. Why would that be so?
voice;
Date: 2013-09-20 12:03 pm (UTC)Uh, well... Because. Some guys don't like other guys being attracted to them when they're straight. Especially if their insecure about themselves, really kind of detracts from the whole, gender roles thing that's big in my world, outdated, but still weirdly popular.
Any reason you're coming to me about this, and someone you actually like, say, Carol or Steve? Or, there's also your sis- they wouldn't actually know what I'd mean, never mind. But the whole, you not appreciating me and my ways is kind of what's making this confusing to me here.

Date: 2013-09-20 12:12 pm (UTC)You mentioned the men, though not the women. ... I assume this was the same for them though?

Date: 2013-09-20 12:22 pm (UTC)[He pauses as he thinks of a way to word it.]
Well, if Columbus was a woman, she wouldn't have had a problem finding Indi- They seem more interested in exploring? That and it's the norm for women to form very tight nit social groups. So... You know I really don't actually know that much about women right? Most of the ones that I've known that way, well I don't remember them, and they love telling everyone about me. That's pretty much where most of my relationships end.

Date: 2013-09-20 01:16 pm (UTC)So essentially it's simply because men dislike other men having affections for them. [That seems to be oversimplifying it to him.] Which is a mindset that persisted for a long time.

voice;
Date: 2013-09-20 01:30 pm (UTC)I see. [Uh.
So what else can he say.
... He'll probably chalk it up to Earth things, just like going out for candy during Halloween and Halloween itself. Even if the topic hits so close to home after events earlier in the month.]
I suppose that's all I needed to know.

Date: 2013-09-20 01:37 pm (UTC)Apparently you people let your children leave your houses during Halloween night in order to ask for candy.
[Did he say that to change the subject? YES.]
voice;
Date: 2013-09-20 01:42 pm (UTC)[He does know something is up, he's not that socially inept]
Well, not all our children. Not everyone get's into it like America. And for those who did get to do that. [Tony wasn't one of those kids] They usually go with their parents, or in a group with an adult while dressed as ... Well anything really.

Date: 2013-09-20 01:44 pm (UTC)[And that's the honest, Etro-damned truth. And he sounds kinda tired just saying it.]

Date: 2013-09-20 02:00 pm (UTC)He has enough going on right now, considering he's still recovering. [Said as carefully as possible, despite being even MORE tired now.]
