Reed gave a curious sort of frown. "I like the name." He said with only a little defensiveness. "We've plans to test the power source very soon."
He smiled though when Tony mentioned the gift that Reed had brought for him-- had made for him at that. "I'm glad you're enjoying it." He said sincerely, very pleased that he'd managed to find something that one of his oldest friends would enjoy playing with.
But Reed's mind was still elsewhere-- he wasn't even focused on science which was usually his only focus. He chuckled when Butterfingers brought over a circuit board and took it from him with an absent pat on the "head". "Thank you, Butterfingers."
"Dr. Richards!" HERBIE piped up, zooming around the two men but giving Butterfingers a wide, cautious berth. HERBIE still didn't know what to think about the Other Robot in Dr. Richard's lab. "I have received a text message for you from Susan-- shall I read it?"
"No thank you, HERBIE." Reed scrambled quickly for his phone to check the text-- this being the first time he'd moved quickly since Tony had arrived (and probably all day). "I'm sorry Tony." He said, sending off a quick reply, "Susan has a doctor's appointment today. She was letting me know that she arrived."
