Tony's bored expression never changed as Bruce gave his little speech as an introduction. When the man finally left to go talk to someone else, Tony turned to Pepper.<br/>"You're not actually considering partnering with him are you?" He asked. Pepper ignored him as usual, too busy already getting into a conversation with someone else. Sighing, Tony decided to take Bruce up on his offer of a tour, anything was better than standing around here and getting ignored, especially since he couldn't leave until Pepper left if he didn't want an earful later.<br/>"I'm going to find Bruce." Tony said, though Pepper paid him no mind.<br/><br/>As the man wove his way around the many guests who only seemed to multiply as time passed, maybe that was the drinks speaking, Tony managed to find a somewhat cleared room. Apart from two older men, the room was empty. It was nice to have a moment of piece an quiet for once, so Tony took this opportunity to look around a bit. It was all fairly fancy and expected of such a wealthy families manor, and Tony soon found himself at the grandfather clock. It looked antique, but something about it was wrong. Crossing his arms and placing one hand on his chin, Tony tried to figure out what was bothering him so much about it.
