Alex snorts at Tony's dry humor, enjoying the sarcasm. "Without the Oreos I might consider the whole thing a bit much, really... I mean at least the food is familiar and we're not being offered energy cubes or blue pudding?" Alex's tone is light, but his smile slips just a bit as Tony continues.

"Well, at least you got the limited time engagement on your contract... they hooked me into the Celine Dion at Caesar's, long term plan..." Yeah the humor has slipped with his smile, and he chews on the inside of his cheek for a beat, tongue poking at his pronounced canines. The last draws a half shrug and when he smiles it doesn't quite reach his eyes.

"I'm stuck for now..." Not forever; he wasn't quite ready to accept that, yet. "Might as well make the best of it... Although..." He casts his gaze around the room. "I can't say I'm thrilled about being locked in underground... Going to have to talk to someone about that before end of month rolls around."
