Feeling a bit low on potassium, are we?

The AI system that runs my cabin was adamant about the potassium, so here we are. He said a minimum of six, and I'm here to fulfill the bare minimum.
[The curiosity is killing him, so he looks up at her. Yep. Attractive woman. Sheesh oh beesh.]

[She smiles.]
You're Tony Stark, aren't you? Una Persson. I think we're neighbours, actually.

[Grinning lightly in response to her smile, he holds out his hand.]
That'd be me. It's a pleasure, Una. You've been an exceptional neighbor.

Oh, well, I try to keep the music at a reasonable level and all that. I'm just sorry it's taken me so long to say hello in person.

Apology unnecessary. I should have thought to bring gift baskets, cookies, anything to the entire floor when I arrived, but I've never actually tried my hand at baking. If I knew how to bake, I assure you that those cookies would've been nothing special.

You'd have also had to get your way around Rube to get access to the kitchen. He's a reasonable man, but he likes his order here.
[A nod in the direction of the kitchen, currently nowhere near as sweary as it will get later in the day.]

I believe respecting Rube's rules is tantamount receiving halfway decent food around here. Have you tried the curry yet? It's something short of perfection.

Yes. Frankly, that was a surprise-we'd never had it before, to my recollection, then suddenly a few months ago: [she snaps her fingers] chicken tikka, vindaloo, onion bhaji, the works. Must be one of the new dinner staffers. Believe me, I'm not complaining.

[Curiosity got the better of Tony, then, and he decided to engage further.] Where and when are you from, Una?

I'm English. [Well, enough so for casual conversation, anyway.] Appreciating a good curry's genetic-although I'm sure plenty of Indians would dispute it. [Wry chuckle.] Anyway, I'm from ... lots of different times, you might say. And mostly Britain, but different versions as well.

[He scratches the side of his face tentatively and then covers his mouth as he yawns.] It seems I only get complicated answers every time I ask. 'When and where are you from?' 'Oh, you know, here and there, then and there.' It can't be impossible to expound, can it? Or is the explanation woefully long, is that it?

Really? [It doesn't sound skeptical -- he knows it's probably true, consideration the nature of the Barge.] Are you familiar with the flux capacitor, Una? [He's still grinning.]

What, those old things? The League phased those out ages ago. Too unreliable. What decade are you living in, Mr Stark?
[It's a joke, of course, but also somewhat true; the technology she uses for time travel is something else altogether.]
