[Admittedly, Scott hasn't had quite as much experience with Tony as Bruce has and the experience he has had has been with a different Tony in a different capacity, both of which he's not fully aware of.]
But yeah, I think I can handle that. And I can go talk to Pepper if that'll make things easier.
[Not that he necessarily likes being shunted from person to person but hey, he's used to it.]
Tony while he's in a work phase? [A hint of tolerant amusement.] Maybe yours is different. But he's a little, focused. [And that tends to make him somewhat impatient and rude to others, something Bruce deals with well but other people, he knows, not so much.]
Just stop in and say hi, [he decides.] I can't see her minding. She just likes to keep track of everyone.
[The use of 'yours' is a little surprising but not enough to throw Scott off orbit. He guesses he'll just keep that tidbit in mind in case he meets the Tony here.]
Actually, he's about the same. Or was, last time I saw him.
[Which, admittedly, was years ago. Plenty of time for a person to change, if they were so inclined. Or if things forced them to change.]
But can do and will do. Thanks for [erm] being so helpful. I appreciate it.
[The miscommunication stands, because Bruce isn't one to gossip about other people and their alternates. Especially not when the Tony from his world is apparently so sensitive about being compared to the other one.]
If that counts as helpful, [he pokes fun at himself lightly.] Nice to meet you... [he has to recall his name,] Scott.
