I... [Tony stares at Enjolras, stunned and slightly starry-eyed.] Thanks, Enj. That really means a lot.
[That's what he's been trying to do all this time. That's why he built Iron Man, and, after the plane crash, why he used the suit to protect the city; why he tried so hard to keep Stark International out of Stane and Hammer's hands. He wanted his dad to be proud of him. That's what it all comes down to, in the end.
Honestly, his self-esteem has been taking a beating here in Keeliai, and he hadn't realized how much he'd needed to hear something like that.
The smile he gives Enjolras is warm, grateful, and maybe a teeny bit adoring.
NO ENJOLRAS DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM
