[ Well, no surprise there. Peter's smart, he's got a bright future, blah blah blah. Tony's 100% certain that Peter's going to go places. That science project is just the start.
And hey, if he shows that to him, he'll be over the moon while trying to play it cool. Because that's just what he does.
Right now, though, Tony's not doing too much of anything. He registers Peter calling him, but hey, killer migraine right now. It's making it a little difficult to do anything. ]
Hey, Pete.
[ He barely gets out the greeting when a beeping sound starts and lights start to flash. A+ cure for a headache right there. ]
[ think, peter, think! what would karen have him say?
"yes, mr stark."
damn it! that's not what he wants to say.
quickly thinking with his mouth open and a prolonged ahhhh, peter's hadn't goes straight to the back of his neck. he swears he breaks out into a cold sweat that reeks of his impending death. ]
Yes… [ he croaks that out. clearing his throat, his voice deepens. ] I did. I'm sorry, Mr Stark. I didn't mean to touch what I shouldn't have touched… except I kind of did. Everything in here is so cool!
[ There's several ways Tony could respond to this, but the last thing he wants to do right now is drive Peter away. Sure, he's done it before with others, but it's different with him. How that works, he's not entirely sure, but he wants to keep Peter around, not scare him away. ]
Eh, whatever. It's fine, you're not even the only one who's touched it.
[ And that last comment earns Peter a half smile. ]
Everything here should be cool. I picked it all out myself.
[ Most of it, anyway. Pepper helped with some of it. ]
