[ The device is situated perfectly as it almost always seems to be in this place, zooming in and capturing a red and gold suit of armor flying high above a sea of trees and headed straight toward a larger, bulkier, but still sleek silver suit. Red and gold twists and turns and does a few tricks, palms glowing white and blue as it shoots out a few

What, so if I lectured you after 9 p.m. you'd listen?

[awarmachine]

Yeah, Pepper and I wrote to them and said to put it in.

[ironmanic]

And you chose a flattering image- not that every picture of me isn't flattering. But you know.

[The bartender greets him enthusiastically.]

Gin on the rocks for my buddy here.

[awarmachine]

Couldn't ruin the dictionary, now, could we?

[ Raising an eyebrow at the exchange with the bartender. So much enthusiasm. ]

[ironmanic]

This kid here? He respects me. Don't you, Greg.

It's... Adam, sir.

Yeah, whatever. See how polite he is?

[awarmachine]

And you clearly respect him right back.

[ Low voice, so Adam can't hear, and the tone is all resignation and amusement mixed with annoyance. You're a very rude person, Tony. ]

[ironmanic]

[This is why Tony has.........a total of two friends.]

As I do all my lovely employees. It's weird actually talking to them.

[Back in Stark Industries, he let Pepper handle...all of that.]

[awarmachine]

You're so hopeless.

[ Rhodey is not making fun of Tony, really. Really. ]

[ironmanic]

I know.

I think I'm feeling whiskey today, Jim.

[Another mutter of 'It's Adam...' before Tony gets his own glass.]

[awarmachine]

[ Rhodey sips on his gin, hiding a grin. ]

I think you might actually be the most hopeless human being I have ever met.

[ironmanic]

Excuse me- did you forget? Child prodigy, leader in advanced robotics around the world.

[awarmachine]

[ Watching him as if considering. ]

Yeah, still.

[ Rhodey puts an arm around Tony's shoulders and gives him a pat on the shoulder. ]

[ironmanic]

You're giving me a weird look. Why are you giving me a weird look? Are you already tipsy?

[awarmachine]

I'm weighing your hopelessness against your genius, you ass. [ Okay, arm away. You get a fist to the shoulder instead. Like hell he's already tipsy. ] C'mon, after all the times you've tried to get me drunk, you should know I'm not that easy.

[ironmanic]

I also happen to be charming, handsome, experienced-- the list goes on, Rhodes.

[A long sip]

What do you mean tried to get you drunk- you mean succeeded in getting you drunk.

[And a wink goes here]

[awarmachine]

That's what I let you think. [ Smirk. Not that it's true, but-- never mind that. ]
