[voicelog]

he is

ahead of me in the timeline though

[rehandle]

Must be off-putting. Though with as many of you here as there are I guess it can't be helped.

[voicelog]

i'm not happy about it, but i've grown used to it

as a general rule, i just try to avoid discussing it at length

[rehandle]

Smart choice. Nobody needs spoilers for their own life.

[voicelog]

i'm less concerned with what i'll learn than i am about my inability to do anything about it while i'm on this earth

[ it's an unnecessary stressor. ]

if the multiversal rules apply here, then i doubt i'll even remember any of it, at least not without creating a safeguard against spacetime trying to rectify itself for the displacement first

[rehandle]

[ There's a slightly longer delay this time. Finally, he decides it's fair to ask: ]

Is this normal for you?

[voicelog]

yes and no

my life gets pretty crazy

[rehandle]

Not that. Casual conversations with Stephen Strange about the multiverse and how we're all doing after the latest fiasco.

[voicelog]

oh

kinda?

[rehandle]

I assumed so.

[ From his reaction to him the first time. But then Loki hadn't known, and the two of them had gone on to barely speak, so there was never really an opportunity to check. ]

I don't know Stark that well in my universe. [ That's a lie. They don't know each other well, is perhaps more accurate. Didn't. It doesn't matter. ] You may or may not have got that impression already.

[ A... joke. He's aware he's been a little off. ]

[voicelog]

yeah i got the impression

i didn't find it unusual
different universe, different lives

[ also he is aware the man is dead. ]

[rehandle]

Yeah

[ And since the door's already open... ]

Did you work together often?

[voicelog]

we worked together whenever it was necessary

he's helped me a lot

[rehandle]

[ Ha. It's funny how differently things can play out. ]

I'm glad to hear it.

[voicelog]

i don't consider you both the same person so you don't have to worry about any comparisons or expectations coming from my end. just for the record.

[rehandle]

Thanks. Likewise.

Though to be honest if you'd turned out to be a shitty Iron Man I would absolutely have been disappointed.

[ A joke, just to kill a little of the tension of being earnest. But also, Tony's already proven himself on that score, so true or not doesn't matter either way. ]

[voicelog]

glad i've surpassed the threshold for what's considered a nonshitty iron man then

[rehandle]

A job well done. Keep up the good work

[voicelog]

you can come to me if you ever need help just ftr
