Tony's not really the type to get easily attached, but (even if he won't admit it), there's something about Gracie that he already finds endearing. It's not really the way that she had greeted him - really, he had met plenty of people that were starstruck all his life - but maybe it's just that...innocence that he doesn't want the Computer to snuff out with the shitty rules that this place has. It's another reason why he just goes along with the joke, a grin on his face. "Fair enough. We'll hold off on the paparazzi."

As they walk, Tony rubs the back of his neck at her question. "Probably. Honestly, I'm not sure, I have yet to break curfew. Which is shocking, now that I think about it, but...I'd say that grounding is probably a safe bet." He says it lightly, as if it's just another joke, but the glance he gives her is a silent warning that she probably shouldn't try to find out. Not without figuring out a way to keep herself safe, anyway.

"The...improvement stuff varies. The only one I've ever really checked out was an art exhibition. In the SubSectors there's a waterfront, and I go there a lot."

Mainly because it's nice and quiet, and he's able to escape to think or draw schematics, but he keeps that part to himself.
