Of course.  There are precious few things that Tony ever said directly, and those were usually reserved for when they were alone.  Right now?  Definitely not alone.
 
“I am.”  Cereal debacle aside, and even Pepper had to admit (deep down) that it had been fun.  It was a stupid argument like countless others they’d had before, and it was normal.  Something other than Tony treating Pepper like she was delicate and fragile, which, don’t get her wrong, had been nice for a while.  But this was pretty good too.
