She ended up ordering them both pastrami on rye- nothing seemed quite as Thor as smoked meat.
"I can pay you back for the gas," she said as she tentatively poked a sandwich that had been piled about six inches thick with her fork, "if that helps. Good lord, I don't even know how I'm going to eat this."

Thor shook his hand at her, his own mouth too full to talk, pointed at the sandwich, then gestured vigorously back at himself with his own thumb as he demonstrated for her the exact how. You gotta open your mouth really wide.

She burst out laughing.
"Oh my god-"
She settled for pulling off some of the meat and setting it aside, then taking a more restrained bite of her own thinned-out sandwich.
"Okay, yeah, this- this, I can handle. Here, I'll make you a whole other sandwich with this extra meat when we get home."

Thor chewed for a moment and then he beamed at her.

She shook her head, still laughing.
"Glad to be of service-"

Refuelled, Thor propelled them towards the destination with renewed vigor - for both the journey, and the topic of conversation he resumed abruptly.
"I know what it is like to wish you did not care about something. But remember this: either your wound heals, or you die of it."

"Where do scars fall on that scale?" she asked, the late afternoon light making a little shadow that picked hers out unusually strongly.

"I've got to stop letting you watch MTV," she commented as she climbed back into the car. "At this rate, in six months you'll be indistinguishable from some great big Valley guy from back home, calling everything tubular or righteous."

"I call some things tubular or righteous, not everything," said Thor easily. "The one I would use when something has the shape of a tube, the other when discussing the moral high ground." He might have been teasing her.

"You should pull your hair back over your ears to keep them warm. I used to do that, when mine was still long."

"Or I could get those ear-mitten things."

"Oh my god."
She was blushing behind her hands.
"Oh no- no, no, I'll get you a hat-"

"No, no, I'll wear my helmet. Ear mittens on top. You don't like it?"

"Oh my God, you're going to kill me like this."
Having already picked up on how he generally worked, she immediately added, "Not literally. It means this is more than I can handle-"
