It was rare that Tony's gifts really landed like that, more that they were expected or brushed off as the obvious apologies that they were trying to be, but it did seem like he was getting better at this lately and he was wholly overwhelmed himself for a moment as Billy gave his final assessment. He had to give a tight small and short nod, good, so they understood each other, backing away slightly like he might actually bolt with that revelation and tucking his hands into his pockets. In a rush before it got any more awkward, he said, "Listen, just try not to break it, get some practice in, don't worry about being so in control." Maybe that was the wrong formula and Tony was projecting, maybe Billy was a mess now because he had lost that control he had, so after a sharp breath Tony amended, "Or get control over it--I don't know, it's just some strings, kid, I'm not expecting you to be Picasso." Go ahead, try to correct him like he didn't know exactly what he just said.
