There is a slight flicker of panic on his face. Brief although it my be. But Tony definitely knows himself well enough to know that he's probably the last person who should be dealing out advice to impressionable your persons. Ok, well, maybe not the last person, given the people in this very room.

Still though, if the kid wants advice from Tony? The situation really is as grim as he thought it was.

"Yeah, they do know how to make a good shower here, I'll give them that," he nods in agreement and takes a long sip from his drink rather than partaking the the hors d'euvres like Howard. Events like these, Tony generally prefers a more... liquid diet.

"As for profound words of wisdom? It doesn't matter if what they think about you is true or not. They don't give a shit if its true. You shouldn't either. Any publicity is good publicity, they say," he gives a small shrug decides to sample a snack after all.

"Vulnerable a pretty boring angle though. Not going to win many death battles with that reputation. No offense."
