[Okay, Quentin will... very, VERY grudgingly admit that it was maybe a good idea to ask Stark to take a look. Ugh.
Even if that glance Tony gives him when he mentions Ultron and ominously trails off receives a whole face journey of wide-eyed surprise to perplexed to confused disgust. Quentin can only assume what Stark is talking about, but he doesn't need much more information to know that he doesn't want to know.
God, what a freak.]
Yeah, well, some of us have better control over our brains than others. Skill issue.
[Says the guy currently asking for help with the section of his brain he can't control. He says it almost absent-mindedly, like it's just his default response to everything—which it is—but the bulk of his attention is occupied by the fact that there is undeniably a different noise produced by Stark's tapping in that spot. A different noise in a structure that Quentin built in his own mind and should theoretically know every detail of... if he didn't have raw power and a knack for intuiting stuff that far outweigh his actual skills. Sigh.]
Wha—a stud?
[He comes closer, inspects the apparent "stud," scratching his head in bewilderment, and finally turns to Tony with an unusually sincere questioning look. He'll hate himself later for doubtlessly appearing like some dumb, inexperienced kid, but for the moment curiosity is taking priority over ego.]
