Qubit's mouth tightens to a thin line, but he says nothing for a moment, feigning engrossment in the suit. It's not exactly a surprise, in hindsight, but what does he do with this information?
There's got to be something wrong with the suit, he decides. The Stark he knows would never just... give something like this away, no strings attached, out of the goodness of his heart. There must have been an ulterior motive. Putting Peter in his debt, maybe? Or something more direct? Monitoring his whereabouts? A framework to control him?
He's suddenly very concerned for Peter Parker. (And he has no doubt that's his full name.)
But this isn't the same Peter Parker he spoke to on Earth-β, obviously. For starters, he's significantly younger. (Alternate universe? Different point in time? He can't be sure.) He's going to have to tread carefully here. Get more information, before he goes and commits to anything.
When he finally speaks, his tone is casual - but not effortlessly so. ]
That's awfully generous of him. Something like this must have cost him a fortune.
