#Now I’m picturing you scolding Howard to keep his hands off your Enceladus
I’m not sure I could ever scold Howard, even if I really wanted to. He’s not really receptive to things like that, it seems.
#better to just let him do what he wants
Well, he IS a Stark. And also other factors, etcetera, etcetera.

You totally start saying “Enceladus” to yourself when you’re bored, don’t you?
There is no proof to that effect, no.
Now, naming my lab equipment, on the other hand…
I knew I had to at least be in the right ballpark. Good to know, Banner.

Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, just happens to be my favorite.
Mine is Titan! But that’s mostly because I think it’s very cool-looking. Why is Enceladus your favorite?
I suppose there are several reasons. First, it’s a fun word to say. Secondly,and in spite of recent developments towards the relative population of the universe...

Shame.
It’s an open invitation, though, so if you ever get tired of being third fiddle to the Stark-clan, you let me know.
# I know how to treat a man such as yourself # and it’s not with scientific interest # I can promise that I don’t have a cell for you like I’m sure SHIELD does
Really do not have a desire to explore what interest you have...

I have a diverse background, Robert, and I think you can probably relate to that.
Care to share a drink and talk about it?
Not particularly, no.

That’s called having a reputation, though I’ll admit that mine may not be spotless.
May not be?

Have you dried out and found your travel buddy, yet?
Sure have, pal. And even I have to admit things are going smoothly. Shocking, I know, but there it is.
That’s great.
Send a guy some post cards, maybe.

Such violence and sarcasm; it’s like a really homicidal episode of “All My Children”.
All my what now?
It’s a terrible life-draining television series that, in my honest and scientific opinion, creates zombies.
Stay clear of daytime television.

Perhaps I’ve overestimated your devotion to this new brood.
Yes, clearly you’ve won.

Anonymous asked: Don't be. Feeling this way and finding someone else who does too helps. Even if it's only for a little while. Like I said pack animals. I usually prefer talking about other peoples problems that are so close to my own because while advising or talking to them I sometimes find that I already know what I need to do even if finding the courage to put it into action eludes me at the moment....

Anonymous asked: I can't even begin to argue that. You're your worst enemy because no one else could possibly know EVERYTHING that you are except you. And even then it can get tricky because sometimes you can get really good at lying to yourself. I just really appreciate you. The good things I've seen and the bad and I don't want you to fall to ruin that's all.

Anonymous asked: As long as you know it's only temporary I'll stop harping about it. Being alone because you're dangerous to other people wears you down and leaves you unable to function after a while. That's an even less safe place to be.

Anonymous asked: The problem with that is humans are pack animals. We do better about being alone than other species but in the end even a second of companionship is enough of a fix to be worth it. Work or no. Temper or no. Being alone is not going to be an option forever.

Well he’s certainly not anywhere near me. Which is good, but leaves me with the task of tracking him down after quietly excusing myself from Miss Maria Martinez’s home.
Um- right.
So after you do that, you could probably ask Jarvis to locate him.

Also, did Banner truly use the phrase “baby-mama drama”?
