Gene, are you there?

radio;

[wrathfulkhan]

I'm here. What's up?

radio;

[skeletonenigma]

Is anyone there with you?

radio;

[wrathfulkhan]

No, I'm alone. Tony's out.

[skeletonenigma]

Oh, good. I need you to run interference with Pepper for me.

radio;

[wrathfulkhan]

What's she done now?

radio;

[skeletonenigma]

Nothing, I hope. But she came to find me last week after I specifically told her not to, and I don't want her to do that for the next few days. If I tell her that, she won't listen.

[Gene laughs, a little bemused.] And you think she listens to me?

radio;

[skeletonenigma]

I think you're more than resourceful enough to make her listen to you without realising she's listening to you, yes.

[wrathfulkhan]

You have great faith in both my powers of deception [not unwarranted] and my ability to derail Pepper's singlemindedness [maybe unwarranted].

Nonetheless, I'll try to keep her occupied.

radio;

[skeletonenigma]

[Simply:] Yes, I do.

Thank you.

radio;

[wrathfulkhan]

Sure.
