Though Thor had been unable to coax Tony onto any high-speed rides, he had somehow managed to cajole the other man into an afternoon at the park. Who knew how long one or the other would have to enjoy themselves here? Soon enough, they might find themselves trapped back at the Inn with not much to explore but the inn itself and the surrounding area.

"I've seen one of these in a movie once," he says, gesturing towards the Funhouse as they approach it; his other hand clasps Tony's. "In a movie with a lot of singing."

Thor isn't quite sure what to think of Tony's explanation.

"Was it like that with everyone else?" he asks.

“You can imagine.” Then, Tony pictured it. Him speeding down a New Mexican State road in his Rolls Royce to meet Rhodey at the Vintage 423. Then him, crashing into a random blonde bodybuilder and assuming he got lost on his way to the nearest chippendale hot spot.

"Well," Thor says to fill the space, because for once, he's not sure what else to say. "Let's be glad you're not like that now."

Tony straightened up, even if there was a faint wobble to his posture. “I’ll make it up to you.”

Thor blinks.

"What is there to make up for?"

“Never let a date go unfinished. That’s one of my rules.” His tone was full of assuredness, but his voice was full of fatigue.

The exhaustion on Tony's face and in his voice doesn't go unnoticed.

"You don't think it'd be better to pick this up tomorrow?"

“Tomorrow...” Tony fell against Thor, his forehead embedding itself in his brawny shoulder.

Thor wraps his arms around him.

"You still not feeling well?" Thor can't help but be reminded of Tony's post-AI fatigue.

“I feel great.” Tony’s lips curled into a sneaky smirk, dropping his weight for effect.

"Are you now?" Thor's still not thoroughly convinced, but he says it lightly enough for it to come across as a joke.

And without even so much as a warning, Thor abruptly hoists Tony up into his arms. "Let's go take a nap."

"Viva la sieste!" Tony curled up in the bed of Thor's arms, tossing his head back with a grin of relief.
