By the time Tommy was finished his report, it was enough to actually draw Tony's attention away from his observation, letting his glasses slide down his nose enough to catch the more subtle expressions that Tommy wasn't usually so restrained to. Abruptly, he said, "That's why you haven't been hanging around Reeve." Usually, Tommy had some excuse to be abrasive, but not when he was boasting about his plants. "Engineering wasn't your thing, this is." Maybe that should have been obvious, it was all he did anymore, just most of that time it seemed like Tommy had committed to the post he assigned himself out of some kind of self-flagellation. It wasn't often that Tony ran into him in the kitchen and wasn't been scolded for making a mess. "Or," he was willing to consider, turning back toward the water, light an casual as he added, "You finally got laid."
