You know, it's actually offensive. How often and vociferously you express your 'surprise' that you 'like [me] so much.' Of course you like me. I don't even see how this was ever a question. Whatever issue there was was entirely on your side--you don't have to keep going on about how shocking it is that you like playing Tony Stark so much.

Get over it, and keep writing the sex. The kinky stuff. We both know we both like it. At least then I don't have to listen to you and Captain Compassion act all shocked about my politics. See? Common ground. It's a good thing. Just stop insulting me with the weird 'how did this happen?' nonsense.

Get used to me? Can't have that. I just don't need her shock that I'm worth paying attention to.

You're creating your own dichotomy of problems there. Maybe it's hard to get to know someone so charged when you expect you'll be over-shadowed in the process.

[funnythingsare]

What's your point?

[biologist]

That they think you really are worth the effort, beyond how — flashy you can be. It's a good thing, basically? Just be patient.

[funnythingsare]

Oh, sure it's a good thing. I'm just saying it's insulting that me being worth it is shocking.

[biologist]

Give them time to get to know you. Not everyone can swoon when you fly by.

[funnythingsare]

Oh, she swoons. She's just shocked by it.

[biologist]

Then I really don't have any advice except keep a crash-mat near.

[funnythingsare]

She'll live.

[biologist]

Hopefully she'll catch herself before any bruising occurs. Falling for you sounds dangerous.

[funnythingsare]

Oh, I don't know. I've heard some pretty good reports.

[biologist]

Entire continents who worship Iron Man don't count.

[funnythingsare]

I don't see why not.

[biologist]

They don't have to deal with you in private, for one thing.

[funnythingsare]

My privates are one of my best features.

[biologist]

[ Trying ... not to laugh. ]

That's lovely to hear.

[funnythingsare]

You don't have to take my word for it.

[biologist]

I'm systematically reminding myself, don't worry.

[funnythingsare]

That's right, you're a scientist. Evidence and repeatability, right?

[biologist]

There's that, and you're charming in a backhanded sort of way.

[funnythingsare]

I'm not the only one.

[biologist]

Rude, Mr. Stark.

[funnythingsare]

Hey, I was backhandedly complimenting you for your backhanded compliment.

[biologist]

Then that either makes up one actual compliment or a reason for one of us to be offended.

[funnythingsare]

Why can't it just make us comfortable with each other and really hot?
