[They had this discussion but Steve really doesn't mind rehashing it. ]
You're my friend. It doesn't matter when or where you're from. Or if we have histories that don't connect. You're Tony Stark and I'd like to think that there's something of the same quality of person under there. I know you're not the guy I have to patch things up and I won't hold it against you, what he's done. Same token, I hope you won't hold it against me either, what your Steve might have messed up on.
And it's all right if you don't want to be my friend, Tony. I'd like you to be but you don't have to. It doesn't really change how I feel.
[Its not gotten any warmer. Steve's breath is still white.]
I don't want you to be sleepless because of questions at any rate. Ask them. As long as they're about me and not someone else, I'll answer as truthfully as I can.
