“I’m glad someone was attentive to my plight. Thanks for the drink.”
It’s not new for someone to try to get him a drink, but he’s hardly this appreciative of the company because he has come to know when someone is trying to schmooze him for something. Ideas, funding, a picture - the list is endless. It becomes a charade that’s ultimately annoying, but as always he plays the part to a certain degree. Although, even when he tries to slink away or be flippant about it, people don’t mind it because that’s so Tony.
Klaus doesn’t feel like that, and while some part of him is still waiting for the other shoe to drop just out of habit, he just chuckles when he asks if he’s ‘that Stark guy.’
“I am. People call me Tony, so you know. Sounds better than ‘that Stark guy.’”
He takes a sip of his drink as he glances over to Allison Hargreeves, looking regal in her gown. And lethal, based on that look in her eyes, so he makes a note to not necessarily use his usual lines on her.
“She was great in it. I caught the last half - can’t be on time to save my life - but the accolades are definitely deserving.” He motions to Klaus’ outfit. “And I’ve got to say, you’re both quite the fashionable pair. I think I’ve read somewhere you’re to thank for that, yeah?”
