[ Sounding at though it’s coming from somewhat further away, a dry, sarcastic British voice responds; ]
I believe you placed the call, sir.
Oh. Right. Yeah. Sorry. Wrong number. Anyway. Yeah, I was wondering if I could get a large cheese pizza? Extra cheese. Light on the sauce. And an order of buffalo wings. And a six pack. Do you have those? I’ll take two, actually. Better safe than sorry.
[Bryn stares at her console a long moment in confusion. She's never had a pizza, never heard of buffalo wings (they have wings?) and it's only the mention of cheese really that gives her an idea that he's trying to order food and drinks.
Sighing, she replies:]
Hey, hi, sorry, not open for business yet. Still looking for the space but even then we're not really doing delivery...
[...though that's something to consider later.]
If you're hungry there's probably something open near your suite?
[ He blinks, momentarily confounded by the answer. Yes and no? It takes a second for him to puzzle out what that means. ]
So, like, when are you opening?
[ There's a tone to his voice that suggests that he's expecting the answer to come in the form of hours - like in two hours - instead of days. Largely because he didn't hear the part of what she's said about not actually having the space for the restaurant. ]
[Bryn's not really in business mode when someone calls her personal line, sorry Tony. She can only assume someone heard she was trying to open a place and is responding based on that.]
I couldn't say for sure. Once we find the right location, maybe a few weeks?
You want some help with that? I mean, not right now obviously. It's... whatever time it is and I'm still looking for the pizza. But, you know, I can help you out with that whole location business.
Hell, I could probably buy a building for you if you wanted it.
[ Does it matter that he doesn't know who she is? Not at all. Money flows through Tony's fingers like water. And he pays about as much attention to it. ]
[Bryn stares at her console for a moment. No, longer than a moment. Is he serious? No, drunk maybe. Wait, no, what if he's serious?
She has the money, god knows she has the investment from Bruce Wayne, but if she had the building taken care of, she could pour that into renovations, interior, all kinds of things...]
[ That's maybe the most important question of all. Tony's a subscriber to the bigger is better philosophy, but he's aware that that isn't always the case with most people. ]
I'm thinking two stories, but I want to make sure the rooftop can be renovated to support people as well. I've been searching for a few weeks now for the perfect space in my budget.
[Too big would be too much to manage off the bat, and if this really takes off, she can always expand or take over a neighboring building. If available, anyway.]

Just like that? You'd just buy me a building?
no subject
[ In Tony's world, it really is that easy. ]
What sector do you want it in?
no subject
As close to the center of the city as possible, so sector wouldn't matter as much and it'll be as centrally located to all of the locals as possible.

[ It occurs to him that he ought to tell the pizza lady his name. ]
I'm Tony Stark. Fire sector. Three-A. Let me know when you've found the building.
no subject
Bryn Zethir, also Fire sector, two-B. I'll be in touch in a day or two then. And thank you. Really. I mean. You don't have to do this...
no subject
Call me. Tell me what you've decided. You'll get your building.
no subject
[This is also going on the list of the strangest calls that Bryn has ever gotten. Strange and awesome, if it turns out she gets a building out of it.]
Thank you, seriously. And uhm, good luck getting your delivery tonight?
no subject
[ And with that, he disconnects the call. ]
