05 § video;
[Tony starts out sitting in front of the console. He's a little slow to start up what he wants to say-there's an awkward pause beforehand like he's just sizing them up through the video itself.]
So, I've been busy lately. And I've gotten a little distracted by other things, but-
[Something catches in his throat and cuts him off. Tony clears his throat and tries to look casual and calm. He's distracted and maybe in need of some sleep, with his attention wandering from the feed, but he's not going to drop the flippant tone. Especially not now.]
But apparently there have been some strange disappearances lately, and those people might actually still be around.
[He seems to want to say more, but his heart isn't in it. Maybe he should be offering to try to help those semi-disappeared people. Probably. Unfortunately he can't make himself do that.]
That's not what I want to talk about. I need... [Don't finish that, Stark.]
I need someone who knows how to take care of flowers. Horticulture isn't my thing and I have some and I have to make sure they, they don't die, so if you have any advice, I could use it. That or animal counselors. I'm sure those exist out there somewhere.
[ooc: cw for mentions of child deaths and violent arguing.]

audio;
[he figured that would get Tony's attention. He wasn't sure what to do, though, in response. Amnesia was not something he typically dealt with.]
I thought it'd get fixed when we were able to start interacting with things again, but it didn't.
video;
[He doesn't know either. But he likes Korra well enough. She's a good kid. He can't just ignore the fact she's in trouble, but really magic is not his thing.]
Where is she now?
audio;
[no, really, he wasn't going to not be with her for as long as it took.]
We're back at her suite.
video;
[And what? What is he going to do?]
Just wait there.
audio;
[sorry Tony, he knows he's more magical than you are]
Unless you've got something back at SI that can jog memories, we're both pretty stuck here.
video;
[There. See how honest he is?]
I might. We'll have to figure that part out. But we can figure it out.
[Genius, remember. He can come up with something.]
audio;
So, you're gonna hit the books?
video;
[Out of his league isn't really an option when it came to people in trouble. Tony cocks his head with what is decidedly an arrogant gesture even though he can't see Mako's reaction.]
That's kind of my job, you know. I fix things.
