He's barely processed the real dragon part before she's off to the races making up a whole performance out of wholecloth for her parents. Tony looks a tiny bit shellshocked, but mostly delighted as he smiles widely and nods for them.
"Prof Anthony Potts at your service Mamaan, Baba," he introduced himself like any douchey professor would at some pretentious school these people would send their prized son to. Yes, he recognizes a few of those words and yes, he's judging them for hating!! "You have some pretty kickass kids here; I'm sure you knew that already, right? Sorry to crash your party, but I need Behrad for an assignment... and I did promise the Dragon Girl a podcast episode."
He goes over to stand next to Zari, nudging her companionably as he adds, "We're still on if you have that autograph for my girl, Z." Then lower so her parents can't hear, "Potts was a nice touch. I like it."
