There was no denying that the Asgardian cleaned up nicely, looking at the pair of them no one would know that either of them were actually incredibly dangerous individuals only that they were part of New York's prestigious upper class. Walking together with their arms linked does the inventor peer around the room spying particular members of his family to watch out for, his grandmother for starters, as she had been particularly insistent on him finding a date.
"Not half bad at all." If anything Tony was actually rather impressed though he'd hate to admit it, Loki was the perfect image of charm and wit which fortunately took attention away from himself. "Everyone seems to be buying it, that's all we could have hoped for."
Avoiding the poking and prodding of his relatives was exactly what he was looking for, and it made him enjoying the grand opening of a new concert hall in his mother's name are far more enjoyable experience. No incessant questions about his love life, or about his extremely attractive and possibly single Avenger team mates some of them were already aware of, only him eating appetizers and sipping champagne.
The Iron Avenger had no idea why Loki agreed to the charade exactly but nevertheless he was incredibly thankful. Out of everyone he could have asked Loki was the least likely to be recognized but also had an appropriate amount of manners for a high class event. Maybe the god did it for a free show, or perhaps to dig up information about him from his family, whatever the reason was Tony had no idea and that alone was the one thing that made him slightly hesitant about the rest of the evening.

In fact, Loki had several reasons for offering himself for the task. He loved a party, especially a swanky one. He thrived among the social subtleties of gossip and judgement unlike the majority of his adoptive species who much preferred a direct approach. The chance to learn more about his fake attachment be it for leverage or general interest was one he couldn't pass up, and if this favour put him in better standing, it was worth the effort.
"Yes, I suppose time will tell," he said after an amused hum. "Had you brought Rogers like so many of them wished, you'd not even see him for getting mobbed. Although, that might have given you an opportunity to slip away."
