Better was a familiar self-recrimination, and not one that was easy to argue someone out of; it made Iron Man's posture shift from a forward challenge to more upright and reserved. The other problems could be more quantitative, and Tony could argue he hadn't seen much of them himself (maybe he had a skewed perception of an anger management problem), but instead he approached, "Is that what your husband told you?" Keith had managed to secure the ring, after all. Now he had to decide what he was telling Tony about the man he married.
