"Well, you're doing a better job than the rest of us, then." Tony replied with an amused smirk, but no mockery in his tone. He meant what he said, he just always tended to sound like he was joking around.
He let Dirk have his peace, growing silent himself. Tony never was very good at idle conversation, and was just as content with being quiet as being noisy. Dirk had already done more for him than he would have ever asked for. It was rare to meet someone genuinely generous, but somehow Tony knew that Dirk wasn't going to ask for anything in return.
It was strange to think he'd really like to talk to the guy again someday, even if he doubted it would ever happen. Now that he thought about it, it was kind of strange Dirk was out on his own like that, no group of friends or anything. Maybe he'd just interrupted him on an errand or something.
