That expression suggested to Tony that maybe, this time, he should not point out that Tommy could have just done that and not made it completely weird, Tony was always muttering at something and would appreciate the kind of attention Tommy brought with his off the wall questions--maybe that was for later, reminding Tommy how completely weird he was. Right now, Tony gave him a beat before repeating, "Okay," eyebrows raised slightly to say, that was a contract, they had an agreement now, don't fuck it up, arms going loose then twitching and hugging around his own chest because Tommy was kind of far away. He barely took a breath before he was continuing pompously, "You can call me Professor Tony. I'll take Doctor, too, I've got seven of those, did you know that? No one ever calls me Doctor, I don't know how Reed gets off. I don't do essays, I don't know how to read, never learned, all exams will be practical and flattery will get you everywhere. Any questions? Too bad."
