There's something strangely relaxed about Tony tonight.
No, Tony didn't radiate misery all the time, but he did have an edge to him that Thor didn't remember being so pronounced back on Earth, save for perhaps during their heated argument over Ultron. Thor had found that slightly disconcerting immediately after their reunion, but he accepted that part of Tony as easily as the rest.
At first, he wondered if those two years apart had changed Tony the way that they had changed him, but there were times lately that he wondered if that part of Tony had always existed and he had failed to see it. It might have been as his father said -- even with two eyes, he had always seen only half the picture.
Strange that now with only one real one to call his own, the picture was becoming more clear.
Thor pulls Tony a little closer as he sheds his armor.
"If you have any more surprises, you'll have a hard time outdoing this one," he says, tapping one the brooches just lightly enough that it doesn't register as a full touch.
