--

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.

Comments

[brothor]

It is a symbol of our truce! Not friendship! You read far too much into things, Stark. It only means you are not to be trifled with.

[He smiles and claps a hand on Tony's shoulder.] I am glad you think so!

[arrogantalloy]

[He winces slightly at the hand on his shoulder. Damn it Thor, not everyone's a brick house like you.]

Not to be trifled with? How is an acorn mean that? Other than being a Tiger stone for you?

[brothor]

[Thor raises an eyebrow as Tony winces. Silently he can't believe Tony is that weak, on the outside he just shrugs and smiles.]

I told you! The acorn is a sign to Thor. It tells him not to strike! ...What is a tiger stone?

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony is a think tank, not a war tank]

You say that. But I'm still feeling... Shocked, right about now. A tiger stone it's a placebo for the gullible. For example.

[Tony picks up a salt shaker.]

This salt shaker keeps away dragons.

[brothor]

Why are you shocked? I did not clap my hand on your shoulder with that much force, Stark. You are ridiculous.

[He rolls his eyes.] Obviously there is no real magic to it! It is merely symbolic!

...No it does not.

[arrogantalloy]

I'm like a peach, you have to be gentle or I bruise. Not all of us look like we're descended from our name sake.

[He wiggles the shaker]

Look around. See a dragon here?

[brothor]

Is a Stark even a thing? Perhaps a Stark is a soft peach as well.

[Flat look.] Obviously it is working because I have not hit you despite how irritating you have been.

[arrogantalloy]

Stark; Sharply clear, impossible to avoid. It might be right, but it doesn't mean 'able to knock ox unconscious'.

[He puts the salt shaker down.]

The acorn works because you've put your values on it. But hey, now I have it I wont go to so much trouble to annoy you.

I was just trying to make a point.

[brothor]

Certainly not! You are not sharply clear, you are vague and an irritation. You are impossible to avoid, though.

[He shakes his head.] An acorn is a warning for Thor. It is a reminder. It is like writing important things on your arm so you do not neglect to do them.

[arrogantalloy]

My homework is sharp and clear, so really. it's still me.

I've never write on my arms. Wait you said this was protection, now it's a warning?

[brothor]

What makes you think that I care about the standard of your homework? It is not you! It is irrelevant.

Oh! Of course! You are perfect. Silly me! [He scrubs at his face with his hand.] You suck the fun out of everything, Stark.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony actually can't help but chuckle at Thor's frustration.]

Sometimes. You're too easy.

[brothor]

Take the acorn off and say it again.

[He raises a challenging eyebrow.]

[arrogantalloy]

Wait, you're really not going to hit me while I'm wearing it?

[He looks almost confused by this.]

[brothor]

For a genuis you are terrible at understanding simple concepts, Stark! I have explained this to you several times, why is it that you do not understand?

[arrogantalloy]

No, no. I get it. I just didn't know how strong a talisman could be to people.

[brothor]

I forsee you testing its limits within the near future. [A flat look.] Perhaps I will have to have someone else punch you.

[arrogantalloy]

[Gives him an amused look.]

Yeah, but it won't on purpose. So I don't think you're going to have to worry about employing a personal Tony puncher.

[brothor]

I do not trust you, unfortunately. We shall see how that turns out, I imagine. For now, I am quite content. [He pets his candy dispenser.]

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, there's a symbol of friendship. And you gave me an acorn too. [He shakes his head in mock sadness. Then grins at Thor patting the dispenser.] You know, I'm glad you're content with it, really.

[brothor]

I never said we were friends. [He shrugs lazily.] We are in alliance.

I'm glad you are glad, it seems so very sincere!

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, give a man an acorn and you're still only an alliance, and not friends? Harsh.

It seems sincere because it is. It happens from time to time.

[brothor]

Why do you desire my friendship when you do so little to properly encourage it beyond throwing money at me! You are a fool!

[arrogantalloy]

Throwing money? I don't throw money at you. And I'm not a fool. And you have a standing invite to my house, like everyone else does, and. well I talk to you about things. That's what friends do, right?

[Tony tries not to look as confused as he is, because really he's had the money comments directed at him before and he still doesn't understand quite what's wrong with that.]

[brothor]

You never seemed particularly interested in being close companions before. [He shrugs, not trying to hide his confusion.] I had no idea you held me in a high regard at all.
