Work friends were weird. Apparently sometimes you find yourself working alongside people that you'd be fighting against earlier. Or at least that's what the Avengers had told Thor about the Scarlet Witch and how she was now one of them. Thor didn't really have a problem with it, he was brother to Loki so he understood redemption. Redemption and tolerance without being continually stabbed in the back was new though. And nice.

Also, Thor knew what it was like to lose a brother and while Wanda was taking it well he knew that hurt could never completely go away. You could only hope to eventually have the dull ache diminish to where it didn't constantly feel like it was going to rip your heart in half.

"You know, I really think you should come to Asgard sometime," Thor told Wanda as he wiped away a bit of beer foam from his beard. "You could find more people there to tutor you in the use of your magic. That and it is truly one of the most glorious sites in all the Nine Realms."

"Nonsense. We are comrades in arms and friends. It's what we do," Thor told her, giving her a hearty slap on the back. Nothing made fast friends quite like battle, whether it was those you fought alongside becoming closer friends or your enemy becoming a friend. Or... in some cases both. He'd met both Stark and Rogers by first attacking them so why couldn't it be the same with Wanda?

When she brought up drinking though he couldn't help but give her a broad smile. Neither Stark or Rogers had ever asked something like that. Yes, he and Wanda were certainly going to be good friends.

"We have something even better. Wait until I show you the Mead Hall!"

Wanda felt the force of his slap and grunted softly. "Thanks." She laughed as she pushed a loose strand of hair out of her face. It was good to have friends and all to unfamiliar for Wanda.

"I'll look forward to it. No one can drink like a Sokovian." Or a Russian. Either way, Wanda was a fairly skilled drinker and she was curious.

"Hah, challenge accepted then," Thor said. He wasn't going to boast about his own abilities or the fact that he was a god. Truth be told humans had a truly impressive ability to put away large amounts of alcohol and still remain conscious. If Wanda was claiming to be good at it he had no reason to doubt her.

"Where to first? The tavern or your father?" She was depending on Thor to lead them and would be completely lost without him. So far she hadn't seen anyone except the gate keeper, then again, it was a very long rainbow bridge.

"The tavern for sure," Thor said with a nod. As much as he wanted to see his father he knew that it could be a frustrating conversation for any number of reasons. He would rather enjoy himself first and then see what it was his father might say. Besides, he was a host here to his friend and it was best to show her as good a time as possible.

"Tavern it is." Wanda replied while a small smile stretched over her lips.

She didn't have a preference in what they did when. If she did she would have told Thor as much. As it was, she simply enjoyed their time together and wanted to continue having fun. It was easier to hang out with Thor than it was other members of the Avengers. He didn't see her as a weapon but as a person.

For Wanda, that was a rare thing.

"Is there a faster way there?" Not that walking wasn't fun but they've been walking for awhile now.
