Alright, Nyx would say he got along with everyone in town in some fashion. Some were more than others, but there wasn't a single person that Nyx felt he was truly at odds with. Then there was the two people who he met immediately it seemed, that he attached to. Loki, who welcomed him, and Nyx just had this soft spot for that man. Next was Tony, who Nyx would admit, he attached to as a friend. Tony was just good and kind hearted all the way around. Protector and servant to the people. All that man wanted was to do well by the people of this town, and live his good life with the man he loved. There was something great about that, considering Nyx was trying to navigate living with Lunafreya and not screw all of that up.

So this day, Nyx had decreed that him and Tony were going on a bro date. Simple as that.

Dressed in his simple clothes he had grown use to wearing, but in addition to the coat that had magically shown it's face. It was nice, it was warm, and it bore the mark of his life. That simple Kingsglaive symbol did more for Nyx's own psyche than he would even want to comment on. Standing by the doors, he was waiting for Tony when he heard the familiar footsteps toward him. With a look, Nyx offered a smile. "Tony," He commented. "You ready for an adventure?" With a shift of his body he faced Tony. "I hadn't selected a door yet, figured you would be luckier than I." Considering last time he went through the doors he almost was melted into nothing. With the door selected, Nyx figured he'd pick Tony's brain a little. For both his friend, and Steve. Neither people him or Lunafreya yet coming up with a gift for.

"So, what are you getting your man?" Nyx asked following Tony through the door.

Right, the perfect gift. That was what they both needed. Tony nodded thoughtfully, fully intending to come up with something more compelling to say than nothing at all but -- well. The closer they got to the little town, the less concerned he really felt about it.

Mind, he was always thinking about Steve. But Nyx was right. He was back in New York, and they were here. For --

For what again? Tony frowned, trying to sort the details, before giving up and shrugging them off. It was too cold to think about stuff like this.

"Let's just check out this town," he said. "Real estate in places like this are supposed to be great for seasonal getaways. All we have to do is find a few places that want to sell -- is that singing?"

The cold. Yes. It was cold, and Nyx never truly grew use to such things. Insomnia had brisk and chilled nights, but it wasn't something that was concerned about when it came to brisk cold or snow.

The things Nyx found himself concerning himself with were teh things like the well being of others, or those specifically close to him. Tony, Lunafreya, and even Loki to just name a few. Ultimately, Nyx wanted to do something special for all the people in the town, not just those he was specifically attached to.

"That's singing." Nyx confirmed. Placing a hand on Tony's shoulder, Nyx sighed. "It's the end of all things. They are going to serenade you in sweet music." With a small grin, Nyx nudged with his head in a direction.

"C'mon. You're going to have to explain this Christmas stuff to me more."

"Small townspeople and their caroling," Tony said, throwing his hands up, like maybe it was the end of the world. Like he couldn't think of anything worse than the concept of children crooning out the words to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.

To his credit, it was pretty terrible. Just. A real awkward sort of scene to be stuck in.

He glanced over at Nyx before gesturing with his head forward. "C'mon. We can outrun them. Maybe grab a hotel and then a bite to eat once it's safe." He didn't know what there was to explain about Christmas that everyone didn't already know. It was a busy, godless, lawless time of year. He could make money off of it, but sometimes he wondered -- you know. At what cost?

"Is this common?" Nyx questioned with a look, not knowing how to take Tony's reaction. Was this bad, or was it just annoying the man. Which caused Nyx to stop and turn around to face the very specific carolers following them. "I don't get it." He said coldly, before looking to Tony.

"Are these songs of their people? Or are they specifically around Christmas..?" How annoying to learn another holiday custom, but he was determined to do such if it killed him.

Then he spun back to catch up to Tony. Catching up, he slowed to his pace. "It's not that bad is it?" Nyx laughed, especially since the carolers were making effort to keep up with them. About this time, was when Nyx just watched in horror as a child threw a snowball right at Tony while yelling. "You can't shut down the inn!" Before running off.

"What in gods was that about?"
