Tony clung to Loki when they were teleported out of the room. Getting his bearing much faster than he had the last few times, he slowly headed for the couch as Loki moved to the kitchen. Hearing the question, he gave a little shrug. "I've just never been one to like it I guess. I don't feel the urge to master every type of fighting or make myself try to be at my peak. I figure as long as I'm relatively fit, I'm okay. I'm better off than most guys my age. I can run farther, though maybe not as fast, lift and carry more, and in general I have pretty good endurance. And I know some basic hand to hand combat and self defense, so I'm not useless, as everyone in this tower seems to believe, I'm just not fighter or assassin like they are." He explained, flopping onto the couch and searching for the TV remote. "Plus it's a little late in the game for me to be trying to be ultimate fighter. I'm physically older than all of them with a heart condition and an alcohol addiction, I have a chunk of metal sticking out of my chest, and I'm pretty sure muscle and nerve damage all over, a light training for them makes me feel like I'm about to die. Plus I'm pretty sure all of them are trying to kill me whenever I do show up for training....I've gotten more injuries from them than some of our actual battles. I figure I'm doing good to be where I am now." He added lightly, not seeming to find any of that concerning, and to him it wasn't. It was all just facts of life. Looking over the couch toward Loki, he arched a brow. "Plus I'm lazy. You think your training would help with any of that?"
