[Network Video]

[The video is brief, but does it ever paint a picture. One of the rooms in the hospital meant for seeing patients is... An absolute mess. Is that blood on the floor? Bits of styrofoam scattered about, cabinets opened, and all in all the place looks messed up.

Throughout the slow pan through the room there's the punctuating sound of a sharp and heavy shoe tapping against the floor in an impatient rhythm.]

Alright. Who the fuck made this mess? Because you owe me cleaning services. Or a bribe to look the other way. And probably a vodka martini.

Seriously, I will stress to everyone that hospitals need to be clean to ensure maximum safety for the health of patients. It's right up there with, and I can't believe how many times I've had to say this no smoking!

I swear, you're all going to give me an aneurysm. And then you'll all have to see Albert for your medical care while my little pup tries to get me back on my feet.

What a gentleman, moving so she could kiss him. Charming.

"Cameras are acceptable only in waiting rooms and hallways. Privacy for patients matters, Tony. As for 'on the clock', if you're charging by the hour, yes. I'll happily pay whatever price you need on his behalf and mine. Because he's having issues with hearing."

Tony nodded along with a very innocent smile, of course, he would be very conscious of people's privacy and where they were most likely to be getting into trouble. The nodding quickly transformed into shaking, hands up to slow Tae down because he had only been concerned about a time limit, though this, too, slowed when he heard what the problem was that he was meant to solve, and he thought maybe he should be demanding payment for it after all. Tae wasn't the first, or even second person to ask him about a specific hearing problem.

"Keep me posted," was an easy enough out, since she had said she 'might' need help. There were other interested and clearly capable parties. Tony was already backing away, helmet back on before she could press the matter.

"Consider this being posted then? I'm worried for York," she admits with a sigh. "And helping someone of his condition is beyond my skills."

That's why she's offering payment. Seemed like, from what she'd heard, Tony didn't want involved in that as much. And she had to figure out how to make it all come together for them all.

"Dustin's already got it covered," Tony said shortly, clearly anxious to leave. "He'll be fine as soon as they kiss and make up." So much for their polite farewell; Tony only hesitated awkwardly, not sure how to recapture that before landing on, "Yeah," with a wave and flare of light from his engines.

"Tony!" she says, clearly annoyed. "Please listen?"
