[ He shot a look over his shoulder at Skye, but said nothing.
He tapped the end of the axe's handle on the ground a few times. Then smacked the head with the heel of his hand. The blue flame sputtered to life around the axe, he relief washed over him. Then he thrust it skyward, and lightning crashed down, surrounding him.
That was different. We were trying to defend our house and the neighborhood.
[Making a left up the road, Skye briefly looks over her messages and it’s difficult not o smile when she sees one from Bucky. Replying quickly, Skye exits out of the window before looking up at Thor again.]
Have you ever gone mattress shopping before? Is that a thing on Asgard?
[ He strolled beside her in silence for a few moments, content to let her do her own thing with her phone. If she were distracted it meant she wasn't asking him questions about why he'd slept so long. ]
Asgard has merchants and traders, but not in stores or shops as you have here. If I desired a new bed, I would have one made.
[ He tried to play it off like it didn't matter, even feigning an almost convincing smile of amusement. But there was deep sadness behind it, which became evident when he finally spoke, staring down the road. ]
Because there is no Asgard, anymore. Not...as a place, anyway.

[ Thor strode outside and onto the walkway. This was going to either be very destructive or absolutely underwhelming.
But when he hoisted his axe skyward to call down his power...nothing happened. ]

Can’t get it up?
[She says it as a joke, but considering this isn’t the first time he’s had trouble with getting his power to work...]

When it faded, he was in battle worn armor, his arms still bare. ]
That's better.

Ok ow.
[She totally deserved that for teasing him.]
Why couldn’t you just wear what you were wearing? We’re just going to get a mattress, not take anyone out.
no subject
You were concerned when I last left the house dressed in such a manner.
[ And as he understood it, many human merchants didn't appreciate the "just shorts" look. ]

What? Since when?

It's a complicated thing, timelines. ]
It's not happened for you, yet.

[The fact that it hasn’t happened yet for her doesn’t matter though, it wasn’t her home that was destroyed.]
I’m sorry.
[She almost reaches out to touch his arm but stops herself from doing so. He probably doesn’t want her sympathy.]
no subject
But still, he just gave a slight nod, and pushed it all down. Now was not the time to dwell on such things. ]
Thank you. Worry not, for the people yet survive. And that is what matters most, because the truth is Asgard is a people, not a place.

[She would like to think that included everyone on the planet, but she doesn’t know the situation.]
After we get the mattress in your room, what do you think about ordering take out and watching dumb movies?
no subject
I'd like that.
