Walked straight into a kid. At least he didn’t knock him down. He does reach out to make sure he’s steady again. An apologetic smile transpires on his face as he massages the side of his neck.]
Sorry, can’t help it. [Self-explanatory. He can see the guy’s eyes fix themselves on his R.T. node. Nothing he’s not already used to – the reaction followed closely by the question.] It’s an electromagnetic repulsor generator.
[And now in English, Tony.] It keeps me alive, kind of like a second heart. [Simplest explanation to give. He’s not going to get into the finer details of it.] Are you okay? [Because if he is, he’ll just be on his way. He probably doesn’t smell great to be around right now and it looks like this kid just got out of the shower. Don’t want to muck him up with sweat and oil.] I didn’t mean to blind you. [Not much he can do to dim the light unless he’s in his suit (but only in Stealth mode even then). If he could, he would have already. Back on his Earth, he feels no need to hide it. Here, on the other hand, it’s plain counteractive to what he wants and what he wants is to go by unseen.]
