Bunny cut in dryly, "The Tooth Palace is a mythic marvel and I can count the number of mortals who've gotten to see it on one paw, so nobody's going to be playing a tiny violin for you just yet."
Not that Tony seemed like the sort of person to be awed by elaborate filing systems spanning a world of children and thousands of years, or by an army of world-crossing fairies. All the more reason to defend the place, since Tooth wasn't available to sass on her own behalf.
He stamped the ground, and a tunnel opened up into the earth. Anybody who looked inside would get a glimpse of, strangely, not darkness, but a softly illuminated mossy path, twisting out of sight, smooth-edged as a slide.
"Everybody in, non-stop to the North Pole."
He cast an apologetic glance towards Jack - who else was going to make sure Tony got to the Tooth Palace safely and didn't disrupt too much while he was there?
"Reconvene at the Palace in two hours?"
By then the yetis and elves would probably have taken up the hosting ball, and Jack might need checking up on. The new guy could have been more dangerous than he seemed.
