[To say it's been a long week would be some kind of massive understatement. It's been a very long week. It's been the worst week. Things probably couldn't get worse, but Thor felt that way before he knew that things could go downhill so quickly.
Thor feels a mixture of things most days. He ranges from angry to sad. He feels lonely, he feels tired and drained. His heart aches, his body hurts and although he dearly wants to rest he can't close his eyes without hearing screams and cries and watching the last few memories of his life over and over.
He should have aimed for the head.
He doesn't find solace in much. Much except Mantis. Her mood must be as low as his, but her manner is far more gentle. Thor finds he can force a smile for her, and soon he finds he doesn't really need to force it when he's around her. He knows it's inappropriate, but he's tired and lonely and desperate to feel the faint, fragile warmth she instills in him.
He knows she can make him sleep and he knows he'll sleep better with someone near him. He tries to ignore the fact that it's the company he wants more than the rest.
They're all stowed away in the spaces Wakanda can provide, but with just enough privacy to have a room to themselves. He knows where her room is and he finds himself walking toward it, guided by his impulses.
His hand raps gently on her door and he calls out in a low voice.]
Mantis?

Mantis?
*walks in with Starbucks three months late*
[ Contrary to what many might think, Mantis isn’t ignorant to sexuality. Lust, after all, is simply another emotion, often times amplified just as much - if not more - than all the others.
And she lives (lived, the correction hasn’t settled itself) with Peter Quill. If she’d been pure before, she couldn’t be by now.
Yet what coils in her stomach isn’t lust as she’d recognizes it, and she has to figure that out.
Unabashedly, she cradles Thor’s chin so she can look at him clearly. ]
Can I do more for you? I want to know what that means.
