He gets why Tony's slowly tiptoeing towards the idea, but that doesn't mean he's sold on it yet. Howard Stark's not the kind of guy who needs validation on a regular basis (though it is nice when it happens) but in this case-- after being set down in the wrong time-space playground-- establishing both his purpose and importance seems more vital than it ever had before.
And he wonders if it's possible to matter at all if he simply picks up where the old Howard left off.
