--

On New Years Eve, Jarvis has the living room set up for guests with chairs and pillows about with a table off to one side with various chips, soft drinks, and sweets. Music playing from a stereo in the corner.

Come dinner time the dinning room table is full of food and drink to enjoy.

Depending on when people show up, Tony can be found either in the garage messing with his kit car, or in the living room, eyeing off the snacks.

[Steve is there, well, relatively early. He had to be picked up by Jarvis, after all.

He is remarkably impressed by the manor. He's trying not to look like he's impressed, but...Well, he is. He can't help but be a little starry-eyed around all this. He feels horribly out of place, but that's not going to stop him from trying to enjoy time with his friends.

He's being really careful not to touch anything, though, which leaves him standing awkwardly against the living room wall.]

[After rolling his eyes, Tony comes over with two glasses of Soda, offering one to Steve.]

You know. This isn't a fundraiser, or a teacher supervised even. You are allowed to loosen up.

[He gives him an easy smile.]

[patrioticspells]

[Eye roll]

I don't want to break everything. It all looks so...[expensive] nice.

[arrogantalloy]

You? Break something? You can't even break a fever sometimes.

[He gives a slight wiggle of the hand offering the drink to Steve.]

Take it.

[patrioticspells]

[Really, Tony? Steve fixes him with the most withering look he can manage.]

Thanks.

[He takes the drink from him, sniffing it cautiously. He's still wary about wizard foodstuffs.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Smooth, Tony. Real smooth.]

All I mean is, there's nothing here that you could break. No one here really could without effort.

[He pauses.]

We both know Thor doesn't count as everyone, right? Also, it's just soda.

[He drinks from his own cup as if to prove it's harmless.]

[patrioticspells]

[The smoothest.]

Do you have everything protected or something? It all looks pretty fragile to me.

[Sighs. He'll take the cup from him anyways.]

Thanks.

The paintings and statues probably have charms on them, especially for my inevitable house parties when I'm vaguely older. But as for everything else? well it's all turn of the century muggle design and engineering.

Because you can't beat well made things when it comes to muggles.

Speaking of muggle things. Your christmas present is under there.

[Tony gestures to the 10 foot immaculately decorated tree. The only presents still under are things for the bitties. While a couple of boxes are much larger than others, Steve's is a simply decorated, but comfortable size box for any normal person at least, and waits patiently with it's contents for the person who's name is on the tag by the trunk. The shirt itself is far too big for Steve, but as Tony bought it with intent for Steve to wear it, he got it so he could grow into it.]

[patrioticspells]

[Steve shakes his head, taking a sip of soda.]

You have a very, very strange obsession with muggles.

[He looks at the tree, wary. It's twice as tall as he is, and he's pretty sure if anything happened (like a wild, runaway Thor or if Bruce got pissed off) it could crush him to death. He's relieved when the box marked for him is comparatively small, and he can't hide the way his face lights up when he opens the box.]

Oh, wow.

[arrogantalloy]

Okay so, I know the team is in New York now, or something. But I thought you like baseball and you're from Brooklyn so it works.

[He drinks more of his soda]

And I got it big on purpose.

Also, it's an appreciation, not obsession. And it's not strange, at least to me, it's just strange because you're a muggle and are used to all this.

[patrioticspells]

Brooklyn is a part of New York. [Snort.

He holds the shirt up to himself, smiling at it.]

I'll be sure to let you know when it fits.

And I suppose that's fair enough. I'm sure you'd feel it's strange if I kept talking about wizarding things like they were something completely alien.

[arrogantalloy]

[He puts his hands in his pockets, rocking back and forth on his heels.]

Well, if I knew you in our first year, you probably already have.

But hey, you like it so that's good.
