Of course I care. Do you think I'd have gone to the trouble if I didn't care?

[ The whole reason he did it was to spare Peter's feelings. Obviously he's not totally innocent - he did tamper with Peter's property to conceal Stark's death from him. He's not denying that. But this kind of retaliation is too excessive for that to be the sole cause, in his opinion.

This is, however, the first he's heard about how Stark died. EDITH didn't have that information, and a noble sacrifice to save the universe is... not what Qubit expected. Without more details, he's not prepared to fundamentally change his opinion of the man, but... at the very least, he was willing to sacrifice his own life to save trillions of others. That's more than Qubit can confidently say of himself.

He shuts his eyes, straightening his coat lapels with a sharp snap. He's still not happy, by any means, but his voice is a little less cold than before. ]

I'm sorry about Stark. Truly. You're grieving for him, I understand that much. He was your hero, wasn't he?
