Tali was directed to a waiting room, but the secretaries had barely looked up. They were very used to their employer's eccentricities, and generally, if someone asked for him, they didn't even have to call him, or e-mail him. Instead, they just filtered off his guest, and went back to answering phones.

That was likely because Tony Stark was one of those sorts that watched his front desk. Or rather, he had a passing interest in it, and whenever his name was called, his attention shifted right over to the front desk. Security cameras picked up on the video, and ten minutes later, he was finishing the last of his elevator ride to the first floor.

Dressed in his usual suit, the jacket slung casually over one shoulder while he approached her, he reached out with his free hand toward the young woman.

"Now what is such a beautiful young woman doing in my building?"

She didn't want to put off a potential employer by being rude to them right off the bat, so she tried not to let him know that she was a but confused as to why he'd invited her to tour the building if he wasn't even going to remember her a few hours later. Instead, she reminded herself that it was a common human custom to shake hands and reached up to shake Tony's hand only slightly awkwardly. This whole 'having more than three fingers' thing was still a bit strange.

"Tali'Zorah vas Normandy. We spoke briefly on the communicators about the possibility of finding me a niche here at StarkTech." She hoped that she sounded confident in herself; she'd debated coming in her quarian form, but had decided against it.

Okay, trite flirtations were a no-go on this one. He filed that away, along with the name, and basic stats he was picking up. Height, approximate age, breathing rhythms. Pretty much anything he could pull together was going into mental storage.

"Indeed, I'm glad you arrived so fast. I've already got a few stops we can make. I hope you're up for a long walk. Why don't you follow me, and I'll take you into some of our labspaces," he offered.

Well, okay, he really was willing to give her a job, but he always like to figure out what made his workers tick. Flirting was simply the most expedient process when it came to the opposite sex. He held out a hand to guide her toward the elevator.

Trite flirtations were also likely to go all but unnoticed with Tali -- one thing she lacks is much experience with the opposite sex. She'd prepared for the tour as if it was probably going to be an interview - reviewed how best to phrase her qualifications, made sure to review key successes that she'd had on her previous missions - that kind of thing.

"I didn't want to keep you waiting," she admitted. She'd also been eager to take a look at the facility after browsing over the information she'd found on the 'net.

"And I don't mind long walks. Do you have any questions for me so far?" She followed him toward the elevator, trying to keep her posture open rather than drawing her arms up to her chest like she might've liked to. She did remove her coat, though, draping it across one arm so that she wouldn't be too warm inside the building.
