Tony has opinions about the Laws. Those opinions have only grown stronger and more resolute in his time away from this place. But in the interest of being helpful instead of argumentative, he bites his tongue on what he would like to say and tries to find something useful instead.

Organic people, maybe.” It galls him to say it, and he feels a little like he’s betraying JARVIS as he does it, but he gets it out without sounding bitter or sarcastic.

“You can always redefine the parameters, can’t you? If you meet new people or your perspective about someone changes?”
