Christmas, Christmas time is near
Who: Dan, Bunny and you!
What: Dan celebrates Bunny’s favorite holiday of all. The best one. The greatest season.
Where: All over the Pole.
When: After the Halloween plot.
Warnings/Notes: None yet.
I. Time for Toys and Time for Cheer
Bunny tunnels into the Pole and cringes at the Christmas intensity of the assault on his senses. The Pole is always a lot, but this close to the actual day the noise is louder, the hustle is faster, the smells are more intense, and goodness they do this every year? He dodges yetis on his way to checking in with Jack before conducting his rounds through the new Guardians he hasn’t had time to check on in a while.
“Can you believe they do this every year?” Bunny mutters, dodging yet one more Yeti with arms stacked almost too full of toys to see over.
II. No, That’s Enough, Let’s Not Overdo It
As a sort of retribution for being left to his own devices at the Pole, Dan’s decided that he’s going to be extremely annoying this Christmas, and that keeps him motivated and peppy through the darker part of the year in an already dark and cold part of the world.
He can’t help it that Bunny makes it easy to find a ‘bit’ and just dig in. He can’t help it that Bunny makes it so entertaining. That’s why he spends a few hours a day for a week working on hand-embroidering a sweater that manages to thread that needle between legitimately well-made and unwearably tacky. He spares no thread, no sequins, no glitter. The final result is a labor-intensive catastrophe of needlework snowflakes, woven tinsel, fluffy pom-poms dangling from the sleeves and the centerpiece, a patchwork image of Bunny himself wearing a Santa outfit.
Bunny won’t wear it, naturally, which means Dan has decided to rally by going up to anyone at the Pole who doesn’t appear busy and pushing the sweater into their hands. “Can you make my husband wear this? He’s hurting my feelings.”
III. Yeah, Why Can’t We Sing It Again?
“Come on, honey, You got such a beautiful voice. Don’t leave me hanging.”
Dan’s dragging Bunny by the paw room to room, grinning ear to ear, wearing a Christmas sweater with actual blinking lights and felt reindeer antlers on a headband. The more Bunny acts like a stick in the mud, the more Dan amps up the obnoxious holiday cheer, and right now, that means caroling.
Dan doesn’t give anyone an opportunity to object when they open their door. He did, being considerate, bring gifts for each person he stops by with, either something hand-made and intricate for people he knows (coats, wooden puzzle-boxes, a quilt) or cute and useful (a drink cozy, a festive handtowel, warm socks) for those he doesn’t, all wrapped.
It’s a little apology for subjecting them to his rendition of “O Holy Night”, which he starts in on immediately upon the door opening.

Bunny holds his paw out to Dan to heft him out of the plush bin. "I'm out in the field most of the time. Been out there for much so far?"
The good thing about having a god, even a notoriously deceptive one on their side, is that at least Loki's already likely to be familiar with the power level and scope of Guardianship. He won't need his hand held in the field the way Bunny wants to with many of the mortals that have gotten pulled into this.

"I have been trying not to overstep boundaries and waiting for Frost's direction. So my biggest mission so far was helping fight against the witches on Halloween. As well as rescuing Frost from Baba Yaga. An encounter that is an argument for taking initiative instead of waiting on him."
He frowns, the concern for his personal safety back in the forefront of his mind. "She is familiar enough with the Loki of this world to ask me why I was not bound. Presuming she was not merely invoking the myths to taunt me, it means there is another Loki here, who is fated to escape and start Ragnarok. I would not want to free him, but were I in his place, I would use my own presence to facilitate a swap and make an escape. I do not know if it would be possible, or how to prevent it, but... it is a concern."

Dan didn't get involved in any of the Baba Yaga nonsense, but it's made its way back to him. He wasn't thrilled with the sacrifices people had to run based on, as far as he can tell, was Jack's overconfidence. He tries to cross his arms in a thoughtful gesture, but the layers of clothing he's wearing keep his limbs pretty akimbo.
"So you want to we should could have you in a god witness protection program? Make sure don't no one let this universe's Loki know you're running around?"
