Steve did have a seat. He hadn't planned to do a drop-by; this was going to be a real visit, complete with an actual conversation. He put his forearms on his knees and leaned a little. "...is your housekeeper untrustworthy?" Steve was confused. He had a tendency to take people at face value even when he shouldn't, because he believed in giving what you'd expect from others. He wanted to be taken seriously.
Tony, however, seemed to like to joke.
"My apartment's too small for a housekeeper, but I bet there are services around that do background checks."
