It isn't challenging, like it usually might be. No jealousy either as he'd sussed out earlier. For once Tony feels secure in the knowledge that his own motives are pure, and maybe that's what gives him the strength to dive back into the heart of the issue.
"No one takes me for granted. The suit sometimes, sure. But me? It's kind of great to even be in a position to get taken advantage of." There's a beat, that sounded so wrong. He doesn't know how to say it, but hopefully his muddled words will get across as they usually seem to. "Or you know, whatever."
