[But there's only so much arguing he can do without descending to complete and utter levels of hypocrisy, so Tony lets it go. It he sets a hand lightly on Cisco's upper back as they head out, that's just being friendly and in no way trying to make sure he can catch the guy if he decides to topple over.
Besides, he can't help but get immediately distracted by the sudden promise tacked on to the end of a bit of babbling. He shoots Cisco a startled look out of the corners of his eyes, but he really shouldn't be surprised. Cisco's quick, it's not a stretch that he would make that kind of a connection, especially not when it's something scientists always have to worry about. The promise to him, though, that's different in a way Tony can't really articulate. It's nice, though.]
Well sure. They won't know how to use it all properly anyway. And then we get to shame someone in public, and that's always a good time.
