[Video] | Tuesday afternoon

[Hey, look who's found his way onto the network again! Finally! Thor is smiling cheerily, and maybe a little bit like he's going stir-crazy, at the camera on his phone. He's also not in his armor, but a rather nice blue tunic with some gold embellishments. Somebody did some shopping while across the ocean.]

At last, we are again in range! Hello, my friends in the Old City! It is Thor Odinson, and we are on our return trip. Apparently we will be arriving at the end of the week, but we are not to speak of that until we strike land again.

[And Thor, while a bit of an airhead, is still trying to abide by the rules.]

Have we missed anything of import? Is everyone still well? Please, regale me!

[And keep him from being bored. Please.]

Oh, he's a complete beginner too... which is actually why I think you two might work well together.

[Pepper's personnel skills have not atrophied on Verdana, it seems. She reaches behind her to snag the cat before it can go on another rampage and settles the creature on her lap as she explains.]

Armand strikes me as both intelligent and very conscious of his own dignity and he seems to have a lot of pride, some of which seems to hang on coming off as competent and knowledgeable about what he's doing. This, as you might guess, makes it a challenge to adapt to a new world where you know very little. I've been helping, but I think if he was working with someone like you, who can face the unknown and learn new skills and still stay confident, it might help him.

[And while she doesn't really know Thor personally, she knows a big brother when she meets one.]

[Everyone probably knows that about Thor, without actually knowing him personally... he chuckles.]

Very well. I will give it a try for his sake, when I return, if you will be so kind as to introduce us. Or should I give him a call on this communicator? I am still only borrowing Major Alenko's when he has time to lend it to me.

[Another thing he needs to take care of when he's in the City.]

Either will work -- if you call him, feel free to say it's on my advice. And I'll see if I can line up a communicator for your return Oh--

[One small piece of business does occur to her, and she lifts an attention-getting finger.]

Since you're using Major Alenko's right now, can you tell him to contact me when it's safe to do so, to arrange for any transportation? We drove people down to the port when they left, so you'll need a ride back, wherever you end up.

Oh, certainly. We may need to contact you indeed. Though... I am not supposed to speak of that now.

[He makes a face. Messing up already, despite his best intentions.]

But I will relay the message for Major Alenko. And I will greatly appreciate your aid in the matter of a communicator for the future. You are a very helpful person, my lady Potts.

Say no more, say no more.

[Pepper can get her intelligence from other sources if needs be. Or just call Alenko directly. She dimples at Thor's praise]

And I try. Sometimes, I even succeed. I'll see you soon.

It will be my pleasure, my lady.

[He executes a briefly little bow, despite being seated, before letting her disconnect at her leisure.]
