[See, there's a key problem here, which is that their knowledge bases are somewhere around fifty years apart. (There are a lot of problems here, but that one is the most relevant.)]

I think what they mean is that your bank account is a hit at dinner parties.

-uh, no offense. I'm just saying, even if you were boring to talk to, they'd still say the opposite. Like how ladies would tell me I'm a great dancer just because of my looks.

[ that makes tony bark out real laughter, bright and loud because it was such a steve thing to say. ]

No offence taken, that was-- that was a very you thing to say really. [ is his smile fond? maybe. ] You're also right. People are good at ignoring your faults when you have multiple zeroes in your bank account.

tony is not uncurling from his position at all now, if anything he huffs and wraps himself tighter around his legs.]

[Look, at least having his hair plastered to his head is a little bit more unflattering? Not enough to balance out the Steve-ness, but that's just how it is.]

I can dance, just not with other people. The USO shows, you know.

[Which also technically qualify as "dancing with other people" but not in a romantic sort of way, more in a choreography way.]
