Thor was uncertain, exactly, why his manner of dress seemed to be attracting positive attention of late instead of the usual confusion he was used to experiencing from those not of Asgard. He had long learned that the people of Midgard did not dress in his style and while those comrades-at-arms he knew as the Avengers did not care, the average person had a reaction ranging from laughter to hostility.
But that seemed to have changed. He had spent the morning in New York, enjoying what was certain to be only the start of a slide into autumn and when it began to rain, he had decided to come back to the hotel, yanking open a door that seemed to go into an abandoned building and ending up in the Nexus once more. While in New York, his attire seemed to be amusing to most and while a few told him that "Halloween is in a couple weeks, you're early," or something of that nature, most seemed agreeable.
Thor wasn't sure what Halloween was, exactly, so he hadn't thought much of it until he got a similar comment from the bartender in the hotel. They didn't normally speak much to him other than to say hello and ask what he wanted and he thought the comment strange, especially given New York, so he wondered if anyone could explain it to him. While he was far from shy, he did have some measure of pride and overcoming that pride to ask what seemed a simple question was often a battle within himself. In the end, his desire to know overwhelmed his desire to not look like a fool.
He sought out the library, then, and started looking among the books to see if there was a clue about this Halloween. He assumed it was a festival or holiday of some sort, based on the way it had been used, and he had pulled out a large tome that professed to be a compendium of known holidays around the world. While he wasn't stupid, his talents lay more in the physical and less in the mental and he wished that Jane could just explain it to him instead of him trying to find it in a book. It would take less time and probably be more enjoyable in the end; while he did not always know what she said, he always enjoyed listening to her say it.
He put the book down and put his face in his hands, trying to soothe his wearied eyes.
"If anyone can explain Halloween, I will buy you a round of any drink you desire."

"Ever walk into a group of people and know that even the ones that are thinking about causing trouble suddenly decide they might want to wait until after you're gone?"

Thor smirked a bit. "Ah, yes, I think I follow now. I never thought to apply that to myself, though, but there are others I think of when I think of a man like that. I assure you, I have little to fight for in the Nexus. My brother seems to be behaving himself so I have nobody to exert that particular pressure upon."

He looked around the area surrounding them and shrugged. "Yeah, for now maybe. But If I can come her as I normally am, there's no telling what kind of crazy this place will let in. Can't say I've met your brother, but I did meet someone certifiably insane."

"Loki is possessed of his sanity. We just don't see eye to eye on anything." Thor said. They seemed to be on better terms of late, though, and he preferred that over the alternative.
"Such is the nature of siblings, like it or not."

"It proves difficult at times," Thor agreed. "I have never been the intellectual sort and prefer to sort my differences out with a punch to the head. It does not seem to be a common negotiation tactic among humans, though, and more's the pity. Sometime a release of aggression is the best thing for both parties."

"We could spar, though I do not know how matched we are in strength. It could be a good fight, though, and I'm spoiling for one."
It had been far too long since his last entanglement in New York with Loki.

"It would be much more useful if I could actually fight."

Thor laughed heartily. "It could very well happen. I feel like we can find a place that suits. Care to go now?"
He was spoiling for a fight and it seemed Nick might be too.

Something struck him as he turned to leave the library in search of a door that lead to somewhere suitable. "One thing. Did you hammer come here with you?"
no subject
"Of course it did," Thor said, giving him an incredulous look. "I would go nowhere without Mjolnir at my side. It is stupidity to go around weaponless."

"It will be painful but if you're sure, I can do what you ask," Thor said, eyeing him warily.
"I have fought many who are...not exactly on the same par as a human, I think it will be all right in the end."

"Doubtful," Thor said, unconcerned. He knew that arrogance was a flaw but it was something that was still a work in progress and not a lesson learned and moved on from.
"But we will see, won't we?"
no subject
"I don't have a clue how the doors in this place work, but I guess we just start opening random ones until we find someplace we can use?"
no subject
"That was how I found my door back home," Thor agreed, nodding. "We should split up and when one of us finds a suitable place, leave the door open to go find the other?"
no subject
When he pulled one open that looked like a martial arts studio, he pulled the door all the way open and called out. "Any luck down your way?"
no subject
"No, have you found anything?" Thor had found a children's playground and what appeared to be a dance studio but nothing that he and Nick could use to spar.
