Now Tommy wasn't even pretending that Tony was worth talking to, making Tony squint as he tried and failed to follow that monologue, then sigh and look around for the next obvious heading to solve this problem while Tommy entertained himself. It was with some surprised that Tommy got his attention back when his became audible again, and Tony had to work out that they were still arguing about the presented methods, lifting his device inquisitively to make sure they were having the same conversation. "I haven't worked out the, uh, exact, you know, causation," he had to admit, halting without any good proof for or against either the technical or occult theories. That didn't mean it was a ghost. Just that Tony didn't know what the nature of the problem was, and, crucially, "I'm covering my bases. I didn't imagine a vampire-ghost and put it at the top of the list. Logically."
