It all started going downhill when I started sharing lab space, I know.
[ But he chuckles at the comment. What? It's pretty funny. Also, he's grateful for the lack of handing him things. The amount of times he has to field that particular peeve is incredible when she or Happy aren't around.
Still, he slides his over and shifts to hop up on the counter, sitting on it and turning just enough to be able to read. ]
[ Bruce is going to be obliging enough to turn the tablet just enough that both of them can read it. It might also leave him in a potentially dangerous tickle-zone, but Tony is supposed to be trying to behave himself, so... Bruce is going to give him a chance. ]
Just barely. It's a wonder I get anything done without a chaperone.
[ A joke, of course. He's got plenty of drive. He just gets distracted with other things, little hobbies, tinkering and so on. This pet project of theirs with the AI bit is high on his to-do list so he is pretty focused on it.
Except for lately cause they've hit a wall and he's got to have something to keep him occupied. Hence, tickle attacks. But hey, he's behaving, right? That's new and good and all that jazz. ]

At least you're self-aware... Sort of.

[ Just so long as there's no jazz hands in development to try for more tickle attacks, thanks. ]
Isn't that what JARVIS is for?

A little high-pitched sound of amusement through his nose as he smirks. ]
Yeah, he wishes. Hey, J, how many safety briefings do I ignore on the regular from you?
[ JARVIS responds drily: I'm afraid that number has grown too large to bear recording, sir. ]
Oh, he's got jokes.
no subject
[ But is Bruce joking, now? The plot thickens.
He lightly wiggles the tablet and asks: ]
Come on, then. What do your elf eyes see?
no subject
[ The latter, more than likely. He does love to feed his ego and if he got offended at everything people said he'd never get anything done ever. ]
Yeah, uh. [ Rubbing at an eyebrow, he sighs: ] I see the same thing we've been staring at for days now.
no subject
Right.
[ Sigh. He should've expected as much for the both of them. ]
Yeah, in my experience? That usually means it's time to take a break whether we like it or not...
[ Which definitely pains the insomniac workaholic in him quite a bit to admit. ]
no subject
[ He had to go and say it out loud. Damn. The thing is Tony's sure he isn't wrong. This kind of thing happens. Doesn't mean he has to like it. ]
Right, the only problem with that is it leaves us doing what? Sitting on our hands? Yahtzee?
