If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

Tony's lip curled. "Glad you're on my side." He stepped back and straightened his shirt. He needed his dignity back after that hug, no matter how pleasant it had been. Those little twerps were lucky to have the big fellow willing to be part of their trio.

"You know we could use someone like you on that council. You've got charisma and you don't take bullshit. Ignis never did figure out the comfortable balance between supporting me and speaking his mind on the council. It was a pity."

He let his arm drop before rising again to cross over his chest with the other, he looked mildly amused by Tony's words.

"Too much of a risk." Gladio's lips twitched into a smirk. "Too tempting to beat people around the head for taking too damn long to make simple decisions." And thus forcing the hand of others.

He chuckled at the joke and shook his head. He hoped Gladio would think about it and reconsider. The train needed good, strong leaders like this one. However, he also didn't want anyone who didn't want to be on the council taking up someone else's spot. In this case, he doubted that would ever be a problem with Gladio.

"Well, always good to talk to you, my friend. I'm going to go and make up a couple stories for the kids. You can come join me if you'd like."

Gladio would go where he was needed. If there was a need for him on the council, he would do his best. But he wasn't going to bend over backwards and kiss anyone's feet for the privilege. Still, it was nice to have Tony's vote of confidence.

"I think I'll leave that to you." Gladio chuckled. "I'll go and take a walk around, check on a few others. Come find me if you need me." He'd be around. And it wasn't as if he could hide, being as big as he was.
