[Tony and Loki staring at everyone with shiteating grins on this great fourth of July.]

We’re happy to present the American Eagle. Customized for this very celebration, Captain America’s birthday. It has many features. Note its colourful plumage and the fact that it can sing the national . . . anthem? I believe that is what it called. Though why a nation needs its own song, I know not.

[Tony rolling his eyes.]

Because God Bless America etc etc. Our great nation was created so we may all look upon those asses today.

And since I blessed it last year, I have come again to bless it once more. With this eagle and my continued presence to his ass.

[Presenting the burd. It starts to sing.



Tony meanwhile is taken aback.]

Wait what? When did you hit that? Which one?!

[brb dying laughing]

That's the most American thing I have ever seen.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki looks pleased. ]

Then it achieved its purpose.

[seeingscarlet]

Steve is going to love it. [It's so obnoxious it's actually charming.] Does it have a name?

[dothelokimotion]

[ His brow furrows. ]

No. Does it need one?

[seeingscarlet]

He'll have to call it something.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know if Steve wishes to keep it.

[ Though Steve did mention wanting a pet. But never quite stated what and Loki let it be. ]

[seeingscarlet]

Why wouldn't he? It is a gift from you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His expression flickers. ]

That is not a reason.

[seeingscarlet]

No? [Because she's like...pretty super sure after seeing how upset Steve was when he left that it is.] As long as it doesn't sing so loudly in the middle of the night...

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki vaguely knows that, but talking about their relationship — just being open about it is a big step for them both. ]

I certainly wouldn't let it do that.

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda eyes the bird with interest. Where did it even come from]

Does it only sing when you want?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. It is only supported by my magic and little else.

[seeingscarlet]

But it is...solid, yes?

[this is so cool]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki's brow furrows as he answers. ]

It is a real construct. One easily created with magic.

[seeingscarlet]

[Easy for him, maybe.]

I've never seen something like that before. He is going to love it.

[dothelokimotion]

I hope so.

[ He had better. ]

[inebriety]

Wait until you see it on Steve's shoulder.

[seeingscarlet]

[Wanda laughs. Too much America.]

Is it going to announce him everywhere he goes?

[inebriety]

I'll have to check, the idea is mine, but the execution was beyond me.

[seeingscarlet]

It was a good idea. You don't need to worry about him having one already.

[inebriety]

Needing to worry if he already has one is more my thing than Steve's. He's not the kind of guy to put much stock on material goods.

[seeingscarlet]

You mean you haven't already given him every obnoxious American souvenir you could find?

[inebriety]

I'm kind of limited considering America doesn't exist here. I had to make one to do this.

[seeingscarlet]

I'm surprised none of you have put it on everything anyway.

[One of the most surprising things about America was how prevalent the flag was on...everything. That's just not the way things are done in Sokovia.]

[inebriety]

[Luckily for everyone Tony is from just before that time in his life where he decides to paint Iron Man with those colours]

I suppose it's less embarrassing when your whole country does it. Not that it would deter me in the least, but I do have better uses for my time.
