"Huh? Oh, yeah." Tony takes the mug (one-handed: the other, the wrist of which normally holds his soul gem bracelet, is still resting in his lap.) "Yeah, I'm fine."
He's not fine. He has a headache that's gotten steadily worse since his soul gem was stolen, and he's starting to feel nauseous and dizzy. And he's exhausted, though he doesn't know if that's due to the lack of soul gem or the lack of sleep.
"Just a long night in the lab last night." A long night futilely searching the streets for his muggers, actually.
Gene hasn't noticed yet, since Tony's been wearing long sleeves all day, and Tony wants it to stay that way. He doesn't want Gene to worry, and he especially doesn't want Gene to flip out, chase down his muggers, and... fall off the wagon. So to speak. He means 'murder people.' Tony will just have to find the bracelet on his own, and hopefully Gene will never be the wiser.
