A casual 'just some chick' usually meant something more in his former world, but with Claire, it could mean just that. In any case, concerned though he may be, he was willing to leave the matter be for the moment.
Her own question thrown back at him produced a small, painful laugh. The two did not get along at all, and their performance was amusing. They were in turn similar and different in all the wrong ways. Both were independent and shared a unique flair but where Claire was casual and easygoing, Elias was reserved and stern.
They would make a great team if the time came when they had to work with each other, but Tony didn't think they would appreciate his thoughts on the matter.
"Treasure hunting? I wouldn't exactly call it that. There's no treasure, only conspiracy."
His smile faded. "Unfortunately, this conspiracy is very real, although I'll be damned if I know what or why."
His smile returned in sedated form. "I cannot keep up with those energetic bastards, so I have decided we need a break from playing the detective."
He did not wish to dwell on the matter any more than he had done already, so he did what came naturally. "Why? Did you want to invite me out on a date? You can breathe easy now, I am free. I might even pay. Half, at least."
