( He trades Constantine's look for an expression of bafflement, charged at the edges with open disgust. No. and, also, What the fuck. Softly clearing his throat, whatever he's about to say aloud goes abruptly unsaid, when the freaky owl-y demon opens its beak and the cloying, sing-song voice of Obadiah Stane pours right on out: )

( The demon ruffles its feathers in a weirdly human fashion, the way a man might roll his shoulders to adjust the lines of a tailored suit. It shifts, as if it would ignore Constantine entirely if it could, focused on Stark's suddenly ashen features. )
[Right. Familiar to Tony then. That's both good and bad; good in that he likely won't need to spend hours they may not have pouring over texts to track down whatever might favour this form. Bad because it's strong and there's clearly a vendetta involved, and that sort of motivation lent power. A lot of power.]

[It's more bravado than he cares to admit; the demon is stronger than what he'd hoped they would be up against, and there's a genuine risk that it might manage to break through his wards with enough focus. It might be willing to spend time taunting Tony now, but who knew what would happen if it tried more direct action.]
