[If you were expecting Bruce to be in this video, then you are sadly mistaken. Bruce isn't really that much of a social butterfly, despite what people may seem to think. He's actually been pretty busy with things.

Instead, what you have is Floramon, who is making a worried face at the screen and seems to be debating for a moment on what to say before he actually speaks.]

How do you tell your partner that he's being too nice? [A pause.] I mean, it's not a bad thing at all, but he gave me the bed and has been sleeping outside of the room ever since the first day and I've told him that we can share but he keeps on insisting on letting me have the bed for myself.

[Still worried here, yep. Floramon hums for a moment more before crossing his arms.]

He also told me that I can do anything too as long as I don't go out and fight... which is also nice but I'm not sure what to do as well. I mean, he's the partner I've been waiting for and now that he's here... I don't really know how to help him at all...

[He glances at the screen now, giving a questioning look to anybody who would listen to this.]

Can anybody help me?

I suppose that does make sense.

[Tony has all of his bases covered, so Bruce won't bother him.]

And people think I can't do that.

[He chuckles to himself, then eats quietly for a few moments.]

Settling in well, then?

[Bruce looks up at that, blinking for a moment before he responds with a shrug.]

Ah--yeah, I suppose so.

Really big on declarative statements aren't you, Doctor?

[He chuckles, then puts down his now empty plate.]

I guess?

[Sort of just gives him a look here, then Bruce goes to finish up the last of his rice as well, setting aside the plate when he's done.]

Tony just stares at him.

"Is this one of those therapy tools? Or are you just not sure if you like declarative statements?"

I try my best to not be as declarative as I can.

[aka, he doesn't like to take sides. And now that both of them are done Bruce will take their empty plates to the kitchen to wash them.]

[Tony chuckles.]

Don't think that's something you have to worry about here. I'm pretty sure here we could declare we were kings and no one would really, well, care.

Which probably makes that the most interesting thing about this place.

[Bruce just gives him a glance here.]

...please don't tell me you're going to do that.

What I am, is better than a king. So no, not really. All I'm saying, is it's something kind of liberating.

I suppose so.

[Not that Bruce can really say much on the matter, personally.]

You're not feeling a lack of responsibility here?

You of all people should know that people don't really like putting any form of responsibility on me.

[Since Bruce puts enough on himself as it is.]

[He raises an eyebrow at him]

I don't know about Fur, But I do know that I am certainly a people.

You know what I mean.

[He has a pretty terrible track record, Tony.]

Maybe.

I'm just saying, no one is expecting anything of us. As monsters or men. It's you know, got to be kind of a new feeling for both of us of late.

I suppose so.

[It is different, that's for sure. But Bruce and different have always never worked too well, especially for things like these.]

[Tony nods for a moment]

Of course, I'm saying all this, but I'm still trying to build things because apparently I don't do relaxing how the Oxford Dictionary suggests.

It could just be therapeutic for you. [He says with a smile.] But I'm just making a guess here.

Or a nervous tick.

[He gives a dismissive grin.]

At least it keeps me out of the scotch and off the streets.

Hard to know if there is actually anything alcoholic here.

[Not that he wants to find out particularly, but still.]

Well if I get desperate I can probably figure out bathtub gin.

[He's choosing to ignore that he idly means that.]

It'd be one way to get back into business really. I mean, I can't be the only guy here over 21 really... Looking for a distraction.

[Bruce manages not to let out a snort, but its a close thing.]

Maybe you can ask around and see who's interested.

[Hint: not Bruce.]

That sounds like you don't want to be a part of that group.

Are you saying you don't want to make sure I'm not actually blind when I try this idea out?

[He almost manages to look hurt before just smirking, because really the idea of drinking bathtub gin is just so wrong to him.]

I'm sure you can handle yourself.

[And no, he doesn't want to be part of the group. Bruce isn't a fan of drinking.]
