[ With the storm in full swing, Charles has suspended the school until it's actually safe to go outside. As such he settles into the sitting room next to his bedroom. With the Brandy from Pepper, he originally sits down to work on study plans and the such. Especially since he has the idea of getting Teddy and Yu to take classes together. That idea

[Tony knew that with this weather Charles wasn't going out and about these days. Thus the most likely place to find him was...

He knocks on the study door and walks in without waiting for a response. Bingo.] Hey there, buddy. So I saw a nice bottle of brandy in the cart when Pep went shopping, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the house. [Did Charles even want to talk to him? Tony doesn't care, he's on a mission. He looks at Charles expectantly. You're not getting out of sharing that with him, mister.]

[Pepper enters a few seconds later, with her trademark look of Tony disapproval.]

It wasn't for you! Stop trying to-

[Well, she was going to say stop trying to find it, but technically he did.]

Hello, Charles.

[ Charles is already chuckling to himself as Tony opens the door. He knew that wouldn't last long. He had told Pepper that someone would find out about it. At least he got some of it this time. ]

Anthony, Virgina. [ And for once? They're not fighting. Thank God. He gestures over to the bottle on the small table, next to the chessboard. There's two glasses. After all, he knew someone would come looking for some of it. ] Please, help yourselves. Just try not to let the others know.

God, Charles, stop it with our full names, you're not our parents. [Mom or dad, either one. Though Tony would very much not prefer to think of you as his dad. Even the mental image of mom!Charles isn't as horrible.

He grins at Charles, than looks over his shoulder to smirk at Pepper.] See, Charles is so lovingly sharing his booze with us.
