There were other possibilities still, but it was seeming more and more likely that Bruce was the friend Wally had mentioned, if only briefly. His gaze sharpened with keen interest, kept firmly in check by the very public nature of their surroundings and the likely implications of just how cagey his roommate had been when mentioning the man. Despite accusations to the contrary, Tony was well aware of the merits of discretion. He just had little interest in the normal conventions surrounding when and how to apply it.
The slight smile became a smirk of his own, with just a hint of self-mockery to it. "I knew I never should've mentioned that night in Dubai," he replied, sighing heavily. It was virtually meaningless, save as acknowledgment.
