The Tony Awards.
"Right, I mean the suit is like a part of me, but I'm a part of it too. So it's kind of weird sending it out on its own." Sure he got that sometimes it was necessary and that there were some situations where maybe it would even be down right important to have that option, but for the most part Tony wanted to be inside it if the suit was going somewhere for him, he wanted to be a part of it because that's just the way things were.
He had a beat where he was certain that Tony the older was thinking something he probably didn't want to know, or maybe he did, but would die if he actually heard it so he was glad that rather than continuing to wear his thoughtful face Tony instead agreed and moved them past it. "Steve, my Steve didn't love the suit that much, well maybe he did - I don't know it was hard to say at times, I think he liked what it was you know," He explained starting to ramble a little bit, "The future and all that, and that it was cool because I mean, obviously it's cool, but I don't think he always liked it either." He wondered if that was something Tony felt too, or if things were different there too.
He'd been doing his best not to think too much of Steve since he'd been sent back home, because well - it would just be one more disappointment, and well he still had friends here so it was fine, but sometimes those thoughts came up sudden and strong and he couldn't help but think them. Like right now.
