Tony was genuinely surprised that Ziggy could actually pilot a ship with his mind. Antheans' mental abilities must be strong if one of them could pull off such a thing. Holy crap but it was impressive for sure. Even Tony didn't even know how such a thing could be achieved except for AI.

"You piloted a ship with your mind? That's some seriously cool shit right there, Hot-Pants. I've only used AI to pilot my suits with my voice and visual interface."

Was he impressed? Hell yeah. As for designing with Ziggy? The temptation was too much for someone like Tony Stark, who was always tinkering. Was it an obsession? Yes, it was.

"Hey, you know what? Go wild, Ziggy. Maybe allowing your creativity to lead you might help you heal. It's known to happen when I've been feeling like crap. I won't be offended if you want to design a bright pink suit with weird stuff on it."
