Seeing Hydaelyn as a variation of Earth isn't my problem. Believing magic and science are 'synonyms' isn't my problem. It's your problem with me, [Tony tells her, brightly.] Era. As far as I'm concerned, Earth could be a variation of Hydaelyn. Or both of our worlds a variation of some raw template that's the basis for many discrete realities in the multiverse. Or there's no template, only a spectrum.
Either way, it's pretty obvious you don't have an interest in jack outside your own sphere of understanding. [He doesn't look irritated, and nor is he particularly hard to read. He is vastly accustomed to people being disapproving, offended, or defensive— whether at a congressional hearing or in a party between universes.] 'Reveling in our differences' is a cute story. In real life, you sound as sick of them as you are of anything besides your homeworld and your preference of magic. Fun conversation. I always have ten minutes for an incurious pie-eater.
Good luck with all that, Era. [He offers her a blithe, gauntleted hand to shake.]
