There's no hesitation in the reciprocation as Thor leans in so close. He keeps his tablet tucked under one arm while his other lifts to wrap around those broad shoulders, hand locking him solidly in with a soft grasp while their lips connect. It could easily just be a day- or week- of this. That would be fine. He's almost of the mind to recall the driver and put in for a penthouse somewhere. Would it be so wrong to have a birthday week of marathon sex? Definitely harking back to his younger years, but with a single partner- with Thor- he doesn't think that's so bad.
Vacationing anywhere would be fine, with the understanding there might not be much sightseeing. But then Thor fills in the missing piece of the puzzle. He's not here as a surprise that everyone else was in on and they're not going to whisk away to somewhere on Earth. No. Thor's here for a very specific reason, and it's one that fills Tony with conflicting tides. There's a buzz of energetic enthusiasm. Traveling to Asgard definitely is an opportunity he's never had before. To see what there is to see, capture all there is to take- especially knowledge, but maybe he'll abscond with some certain other things- and be with Thor. On his homeworld. Finally get to see it after hearing about it with all the love Thor speaks for it.
But at the opposite end there's mild apprehension. Leaving Earth seems risky. Even though there's ways to be contacted so far away now. It still feels like something he shouldn't do. Especially when it's to go on a joyous celebration ride. Perfect time for life to remind him why he doesn't get nice things, or shouldn't, anyway. Then there's also the ghosts that still haunt him, every now and again, regarding space. In all its infinite dangerousness.
He feels a little caught between two worlds, almost quite literally. Thor diverts his attention slightly, though, and he pulls his tablet from under his arm to start tapping away at the screen. "It won't fry my devices, right?" Asking also as he taps the side of the colored lenses he's wearing, to no one's surprise also loaded with tech. "I think between the Starkpad and the specs I can get two sets of readings and compare," buzzing away, as always, when a new opportunity is presented to him. "Should get a lot of good data," this that and the other thing, talking away, mostly to himself, while he sets up both devices so that they can get readings for him.
When he realizes he's not in his lab working on a project, as easy as that is to slip into, he grins Thor's way. Barely here ten minutes and already this is very obviously the best gift he's been given this year for his birthday. No contest. Though he does ask, "Anything I should be worried about? How's the ride? Any worse than the suit?" Tony can take a lot of Gs and he's used to flying and maneuvering at ridiculous speeds and pulling lots of maneuvers that sometimes his body doesn't like, suit or not. But alien tech travel that he doesn't quite fully understand yet... "I'm not gonna show up and puke on someone's lawn, am I?"
