Tony squeezed AJ's hand softly before kissing her cheek. "Calm down, babe. I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it." He gave Pepper that look he always gave her when he was a little upset with her and trying not to show it too much. "Right? You just sometimes get your wording wrong." He smiled, but it was almost a wicked smile before he relaxed a bit and looked at AJ, the real smile returning to his face.
"When you go from being practically worshiped because you're rich to a society that doesn't care about money at all, things tend to change quite a bit." He cleared his throat, squeezing AJ's hand again.
