[For a second Tony just stares at the orb, trying to figure out what exactly makes it tick before deciding whether or not it's a good idea to soliliquize into it. But being as communication with his people is more important than puzzle solving at the moment, he pulls it back and begins to speak]

When I was in college my friends and I went to King Richard's Faire. I hated it then, and I haven't gotten any keener on the idea. We live in a modern age, people, quit pretending you're artisan craftspeople working to outfit your quaint medieval village and appease your king. News flash: you're all investment bankers and lawyers and teachers. Sorry to be the one to break the bad news. But from what I can tell, that 'going back to your real job' thing isn't really going to be much of an option here. Which is..really, it's peachy. It's like unwanted forced vacation. To a war zone.

[an obviously frustrated Tony takes a slight pause.]

Anyone else here I know? Aside from Robin Hood and the jolly blue frost giant.

So that's two votes for Fury, though I'm not sure Clint's really counts for a full vote since he keeps jumping back and forth. [It is nice to see the big guy, though. Known allies = good.]

How did you-- [All right, wait, that's not important right now. Thor isn't sure what part of Loki is "jolly," but there's no doubt that he's the frost giant in question (and who told Stark about that?), and that means Thor needs to repeat the conversation he had with Natasha:]

Belay that for now, for I have words of great importance. Stark, my brother is here, and you must not tell him what you know of him. He is from our past, not the Loki you know.
