It had been years since Tony had spent any time at the Rockefeller Center skating rink. The last time had been a mother-son outing--a rare spur of the moment escapade his mom had suggested in between some wholly unengaging museum trips. After a long day of feigning interest in relative values of art in the Northern Renaissance, he whinged he was too old to go skating only to end up enjoying himself.
'It was Christmas time then, too.' So many memories of his mother around this time of year. Ever since the incident, most of them had been colored with a grief so intense he long pretended that the holiday season barely existed. Celebrating year by year with Pepper had warmed him up to the idea once again.
"See the bunny ears?" Tony presented the two loops he created with the skate laces, gazing up at Thor from where he knelt in front of the man. He adjusted his second-hand Yankees cap to get a better look. He took a sip of the hot chocolate that had come complimentary as part of the package deal Tony purchased for them for morale. "We've crossed the bunny ears, we've had them run over each other, now they jump in the hole because they see the dog."
