[Thor isn't sure exactly what had led to the question, he can't quite remember all the right words, having been lost somewhere along Jed's smile, caught in her laughter, so when she asked him brightly, "Haven't you ever been on a date before?" he had answered "Of course!" only to realize that, according to Midgardian customs, no. He had never been on a date.
His friends and fellow Avengers had been very little help, seeming to take some kind of pleasure in his courtship failings. Alas, he had turned to Google, who had been almost too much help, and that is how Thor found himself hand in hand with Jed on a bright afternoon, walking barefoot down the beach. (Everyone seeking romance raved about long walks on the beach, so he felt this to be predictable and therefore respectable Date material.)
Jed seems to dance, he's decided, somehow floating above the wet sand, barely leaving footprint in comparison to the tide pools he leaves in his wake, and he finds himself grinning at their feet as they walk in tandem with each other. There are children in the surf, screeching and splashing their delight and he can't help but grin at their joy.]
Come.
[Bright and breathy as he turns to head directly into the incoming tide, Jed's hand still held tightly in his.]
[ "Of course!" he'd said- though Jed had a feeling that it was largely a fib. Still, she was eager to see what he would come up with. Walks along the beach were some of her favorites, despite everything she still felt at peace in the sand and tide.
Her eyes are closed as she takes everything in, only until she hears him speak up. She glances over at him curiously, but doesn't hesitate as he tugs her towards the tide. She laughs and gives his hand a quick squeeze to assure him she's following. ]

What are you thinking?
[ It's not angry, merely curious. ]
