The slightest hint of a brightening to Tony's mood sparked in his dark eyes when Peggy showed recognition of Jarvis. He smirked lightly. "You knew Jarvis? Well that almost makes you family." A pause and the smirk flickers slightly playful. "I'm sorry." He added. "No one should be cursed with such a fate." More teasing at his own expense.
He nodded his approval when she called him Tony, much preferring that to the inevitable 'Mister Stark' that had been about to slip out. She didn't work for him, so the formality wasn't necessary. "Yeah, it'd be nice to have him around again right about now." Well, either Jarvis at this point... "He was a good man. Always picked up the pieces after dad's brief visits." Always coddled Tony when Howard upset him and, at the time, Tony thought he was just making excuses for his father. Now, he wasn't so sure.
