Patchwork Road

Chapter summary: Tony puzzles about one thing, then another, then another, even some eating habbits.

49. Carnivore

Tony is a scientist, but not a biological scientist, although he does enjoy doing most "biological" things.

Still, any average schoolkid would know the fact: A mouth populated with all fangs means the owner of the mouth is a devout carnivore.

And the jötnar do fit the criterion, with all those strong-looking, sharp-looking, close-growing black teeth.

But if so, why are they chewing on what could have been this icy land's version of carrots or celery sticks?

`But, why am I thinking of these people's dietry habit, instead of finding a way for all the Avengers to come away from here safely?`

Isn't difficulty of thinking one of the first signs of hypothermia?

But he hasn't felt cold since… some time ago.

`Come to think of it again, why aren't I feeling cold?`

Now he's confused. And Anthony Edward Stark hates feeling confused, or ignorant, or directionless, or thwarted, or – well… what is that male mum doing, now?
