[ Oh. Oh. Okay. The tree's pretty cute, Tony gets it. It's fine. Value-neutral, judgement-free. What happens in Faerie stays in Faerie. Laura will never know. It's all good. Tony's dead anyway so it's not like he's gonna bet to open his big fat mouth to her by accident one day, so-
Fine™️.
He would have preferred Clint to get something out of this arrangement, too, but like. Fine. Prostitution for a pen (or in general) is not everyone's idea of a good time. Tony gets it. Let the man live his life. ]
[About five minutes pass of Clint staring at those two words and wondering if it really is noted, if Tony has any idea what he's saying. If Tony has any idea what Tony is saying. It came up about trading?
And what happens if Tony opens his fucking mouth about it to anyone else-]
Yeah, I did. For [ Is he really going to admit he traded sex for a writing instrument so Strange could write a little clearer right now? No. No, he is not. Granted, without his money, he needs to rely on his backlog of various talents, instead. ] something I needed for a little vanity project of mine.
[ H u h. That is a weird question. Oh well, whatever. Tony fiddles with his Strange's pen, clicking it a few times before he replies. ] Yeah, I meant to. [ Let's ignore the part where Narciso subtly threatened Peter, but mostly it was done without Tony under any kind of duress. ] My idea completely, actually. [ A lie, but one done to make his court ruler look like less of a hoe. Surely that would get him some points one of these days. ]
[Right. Right. Okay. Just like Loki. People who went with him deliberately and with both eyes open. That's...fine. That's great. It's great that other people are having interactions that aren't coerced. Means fewer people hurt. It's fine. He can take it.]
[ read ]
[He doesn't even have anything judgemental to say about apparently trading sex for something wanted. Judgement-free zone or whatever. So long as Tony's good with whatever happened. It's fine.]
[ Jesus, fine. Tony gets it; he's touchy about this. But he's not exactly looking to get punched again so he's going to do the first smart thing he's done since getting here and shut his fucking mouth. ]

[ The world's oldest profession and all that. Not judging! Value-neutral! ]
So what'd you trade for?
