A sympathetic smile crossed his lips when she said Root would smack her upside the head for mooning over her absence. He wished that he could say or do the right thing to help her figure out how to stop that absence she was feeling, but the truth was that Tony still didn't know how to even come close to fixing that for himself, either.
So, instead, he just let her continue to hold onto his hand for as long as she needed. If this was the only thing he could do, then he would do it. No questions asked.
It was probably a good thing that this conversation was happening after he and Steve have started to mend their friendship, because just two days ago Tony would have probably rolled his eyes at Morgana's description of him. How he was kind, or sweet. Not because he wanted to make fun of her for saying it, but just because Tony had been holding onto the grudge he had carried with him into this place and the last thing he would have agreed with was that Steve Rogers was kind. But, considering their talk at Medical Services yesterday, and then the way that Steve had looked for him this morning just to give him fresh coffee (real coffee) to help him feel better after being hospitalized... He didn't find himself rolling his eyes. At all.
He did find himself noticing the way that Morgana talked about him, though, and... Hm. There was a tinge of something that seemed to wedge itself in his chest, somewhere between his heart and the arc reactor, but Tony didn't let himself think much of it.
