While Tony is not, strictly speaking, employed in what one would call a full-time capacity, he is, you know, intending to get a real job, soon, somewhere. Maybe looking at apartments so he knows how much money he needs to be making is a little backwards from how it's usually done, but whatever. He's getting really sick of living with randomly-assigned roommates. (Not that he has a problem with any of his roommates - it's just not an ideal environment when you're in a long-term relationship.)

Pepper is, of course, delighted by the idea of apartment-shopping, so Tony sets a breakfast date with her to look over the offerings. Even if he's not in a financial position to move out quite yet, it'll be fun.
