[Tony stops the swing before looking down at the sweater Thor gave him as he got shoved out the door and then back up at the other man.]

I suppose he has. This is one more than what I normally get.

[People don't usually get Tony anything. Gregory used to send lumps of coal once upon a time, but he grew out of it and now he wouldn't be sending anything. Tony didn't fault them, he imagined he was hard to shop for.]

You made it without setting anything off. Congratulations.

[He claps his gloved hands and makes sure that they don't pass through Anthony.]

[Thor is, of course, wearing his matching sweater. They both look absolutely ridiculous, which is more a present than the sweater itself.

He watches Tony clap with a raised brow, then helps himself to sitting in the swing next to him. The chains groan in protest from his weight, but he doesn't acknowledge it.]

Are you going to introduce me? [Thor pushes past talk about the eye, even if he is deeply curious about what else he could set off.]

[inebriety]

[They look like mismatched brothers which warms Tony's needy little heart. He wasn't joking when he told Loki he wouldn't mind swapping places. An older brother who cared was very tempting.

Tony is confused for a second before realisation dawns.]

You can see him. I didn't think about that.

[Anthony looks over at Thor cheekily before waving.]

This is Anthony, he's my brain tumour. Anthony already knows who you are.

[worldsaway]

[There's a lot to unpack in that last sentence, but Thor is used to it. Especially with Tony. He does pause for a moment, as if he temporarily blue screens before he moves on.]

I'm not sure if it's egotistical or altruistic to name your brain tumor after yourself. [He quirks a brow, but his eyes linger on the boy.]

You didn't mean for me to see him?

[inebriety]

Why not? He comes from my cells.

[Anthony gestures towards Tony and he leans down to listen to his whispers before he lets the boy down and he seems to run off.]

I'd have mentioned it sooner or later. I just didn't consider that he'd take the initiative. He can interface with machines, your eye being one such example.

[worldsaway]

[Thor inclines his head in consideration, then eventually nods in agreement. He watches Anthony run off before he looks back over at his friend.]

I'm sure that won't be an issue in the future. Is there anything else I should know about? So far we have lasers and tumor children.

[inebriety]

[He lists them off with his fingers.] X-ray, night vision, holographic projection, fire, Wi-Fi... I can't remember if I managed to fit an EMP or not.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

If I can't remember it it's probably not important. Closing your eye will turn it off anyway.

[Even if the thought of closing an eye while there's a laser shooting out of it might be a little bit worrying.]
