Reunited and it feels so... awkward - for mybroisadopted

[searches_forhim]

It was the last place Jane had expected to run into Thor.  She wasn't sure what had made her send him those hearts. After waiting for so long the only explanation possible was that her patience had simply run out.  He had promised to come back for her, yet he hadn't. She thought she had feelings for him, but her logical side kept telling her that she had only known him for a day and a half, there was no possible way she could know him well enough to fall for him that quickly.  Her heart and her brain were still at war when he arrived.

She opened the door to her New York apartment and ushered him in. The shoebox of a place seemed even smaller with him in it.  "So... hi."

This time she did get concerned, and she tugged hard on his arm as a reminded to make mentions of other worlds in a softer voice.

"These are adults. The young ones are very small. I don't know if they have any babies here or not." She probably could check on the zoo's website but that would mean letting go of him - and letting him out of her sight for a moment. She chose to leave her phone where it was.

"I don't think they like it when you lean in like that..."

Thor looked to her, and his excitement softened. "But these are far smaller than those I've seen before. Are they the same beast?" Thankfully, his voice softened as well. "It is excellent than they have such defenses against these, as they are fierce predators."

He seemed proud to know more about these than the feathered-water-birds.

She was happy to see him calming down a bit. She chose not to look around and see if anyone was staring.

"Maybe they're related? Or the ones here could be descended from the ones you know. Polar bears are good hunters, but they're home ice is melting and they're dying out. It's really sad, actually." Next to the exhibit was a display illustrating the plight of the polar bear.

Thor's brows came together at her words, and he immediately looked with concern out to the creatures where they laid, relaxing in the shade. Jane, good luck with him as he leaned forward and called out, "beasts of the ice! Do you suffer here?"

Or how the polar bears all looked over at Thor at the same time, and one even stepped forward and gave an odd grunting sound.

Thor nodded, as if he understood. "Your breathern suffer, however."

Jane's eyes grew wide, as did the majority of the people standing around them.

"What are you doing?" she asked, trying not to sound accusatory and failing. She didn't want to treat him like a child but if he kept drawing attention this way she would have to pull him aside and have a talk with him.

Thor's brows came together at Jane's reaction to his speaking with the beasts. Why did she sound upset? He had done nothing the matter, or so he believed. "I am speaking to them," he said matter of factly."I wished to know if they were being properly taken care of in this... large cage."

"But they're animals." She looked at the bears again and saw that they were still looking to Thor as if he was some savior come to set them free. This was going south quickly.

"Maybe we should move on."
