Peter's never seen Tony this vulnerable before, and he's disarmed by it. It takes him a moment to find the words, and then another to open his mouth and actually say it. Even as he begins speaking he's not sure if it's the right thing to say to him, or if any of it is going to make sense.
"You're worried, right? I don't know what helps for you because everybody is different, but... when Ned first found out I was Spider-Man, I was freaked out. But later on, I ended up just feeling relieved that I had someone to talk to. I didn't have someone I could talk to about it for a long time." Or what felt like a long time to Peter, who had been Spider-Man for a year before anyone other than Tony Stark found out.
Peter fills his own glass up with ice and water and sets it in front of Tony's, like the start of a line of toy soldiers.
"I don't know," Peter admits. He knows he's young and doesn't have a lot of life experiences compared to nearly everyone else. "I guess I'm just saying that you should try talking about it with someone. It might help."
