( It does shine some lightness on it, to imagine his fall interrupted as Thor swept him up from it. Will it be enough?
Tony resists the urge to pull him close again with that chaste kiss, resting back against him as he had the previous night. Only for a moment, absorbing his friend's offer. Honesty compels him to admit, )
I can't promise that. ( He shifts, turning under Thor's arm. ) I'll try, don't get me wrong.
It is merely an offer. It is up to you whether you take it or not. What is important is you know you can.
(Thor lost his closest friends recently. They died bravely but he never got to say goodbye. He will not make the same mistake with his human friends, he will protect them and let them know like now they are important to him. He kisses the top of Tony's head.)
I believe we may be out of sync in the timeline. It's been years for me since my brother attacked New York.
That sounds about right. I'll admit I don't keep a close eye on what year it is.
(He's long-lived. Years get complicated. He smiles and squeezes Tony into a sideways hug.)
Yes. I eventually did get to spend some time on Earth with Jane and the rest of you. You had your tower you shared, and I believe a second Aveners compound somewhere? Unfortunately, I had bigger picture problems to deal with, and I was away for possibly two years, but everyone seemed well when I left.
(He completely missed out on the war, whelp! He has no reason to think his human friends aren't doing wonderfully back home.)
Banner is with me now though, some things went wrong and he ended up in space.
