Let me know if it doesn't work out, I'll ask around about ghost portals.
Ok. Well, this shouldn't take long, but it could still be a couple of days. *Or it might be after Cesar's done artfully rearranging how much he wants to space things out. Will Tony start to balk, or...?*
If we have time I want to leave one of the samples in an analysis machine overnight to see if we'll need more than one.
*Bullshit. 'Analysis machine'? He could undoubtedly find something to do with this sort of setup, but it's not mandatory. He just wants to make sure Tony gets at least one full night of rest, whatever he has going on.*
[It's a good thing Tony knows precisely jack all about any of that or he'd so be calling Cesar out on it. Although he was definitely thinking "that sounds fake but okay".
Hah, rest, Cesar's funny if rest is what he thinks Tony is capable of anymore.]
[He is not entirely convinced and you are suspicious as ever, Cesar. Although the pizza will help, just don't let him know you're lying that's a bit of a sore point these days.]

Alright. Could you come here, then? I have some questions about your healing ability, as well as some new samples I would like to take.
I'm willing to pay you in all-you-can-eat pizza and a free place to stay. The offer stands for as long as you need it.

Probably. Know of any ghost portals that open up there? Otherwise it might be a walk.
I probably won't stay long, I got something I need to do, but pizza's always a good trade.

The pizza's yours. Pressing deadlines, I assume?

Something like that.

Text me when you're on your way. I can pick you up if you need me to.
*Shut up he's giving a sophisticated and believable lie and Tony's going to be so distracted by pizza that he'll never care.*
