[ Tony crosses his arms and leans back on his heels, assessing the situation. The data points are as follows:
- Pets are unpredictable and high-maintenance - But it will make Pepper happy - But its powers are heretofore unexplored and may present real, present dangers - But it will make Pepper happy - The damn thing will probably eat everything, including important mechanical components, tools, and socks - But it will make Pepper happy - He probably won't win the argument one way or another anyway - And it will probably make Pepper happy - ... - He's fucked and they have a science pig now ]
...
No pigs in the workshop, we're buying one of those invisible dog fences. And I'm not cleaning up pig poop, that's pig-owner work. And I'm not obligated to call him "Ziggy" when I can call him "Pork Rind" instead.
Non-negotiable.
