When Tara walks in, Tony's still poking around the workbench, not really doing anything in particular except trying to stay busy. He stops what he's doing and turns around. "Hey. You're Tara, right?"
He sounds cheerful enough, in spite of everything. Having someone else to talk to is a welcome change, and so he smiles at her. "Come in then." He is fully aware that one of the first things she'll notice is the glowing light coming from under his shirt, but he's gotten so used to explaining about it that it doesn't bother him anymore.
What she'll find if she starts examining him is a different story, however. He decides not to draw attention to that until she asks.
