The "good kid" comment gave Bruce pause; the smirk disappeared, replaced by a more thoughtful, considering look.
Bruce caught the change in Stark's attitude, as well as the hint in his acknowledgment. It seemed Wally had, for once, picked someone to trust that could keep secrets. This was but their first meeting, and yet Bruce was already starting to get a sense of Tony Stark as a person. The way Stark could observe and focus was in itself indicative of a persistent nature. He was evidently cautious, but either trusted Wally enough to tell him about his "second job," or had enough of a sense of fairness to tell Wally one of his secrets having found out Wally's own.
All that would have to be good enough. For now.
"Paris," replied Bruce, equally meaninglessly.
"In my defense, it was going fine until she called me her 'petit maquereau.'"
