The description was terribly accurate. So much so that it was almost funny. "That sounds like you're putting it nicely." Pepper on the other hand pulled no punches when it came to Tony. Were she to describe him she would have used terms such as frustrating, self destructive and annoying to go with brilliant, caring and underhandedly kind.

"I can't say I've ever heard the term useless and your name in the same sentence before. In fact you're one of the few people Tony ever took an active interest in presents for." By active she meant he told her to make sure it was something tasteful and nice.
