Thor still has a lot to learn about Earth's geography - the sheer amount of countries in one Realm still seems excessive at best, never mind the states and provinces and territories they've further carved those into - but to his mild surprise, he does recognize the name, from both the debacle surrounding Ultron, and in conversations with the Steve Rogerses since Thor first found the Nexus. "I have. Not much in the way of detail, but I'm told your country is a sight to behold."

And a possible site for his own people to seek refuge, but that's something Thor would rather not bring up on a first meeting, especially before he's even gotten to talk to their king first. He's not an invited guest, and given how quickly he's learned that Earth politics shift and change, it'd be a foolish idea to assume they'll be welcome just because he's popular.

Okoye's warning about leaving her weapon alone has his curiosity immediately, but he knows all to well how it feels to have a weapon that feels so like a part of yourself that it would be unthinkable to let a stranger mess with it. "You have my word," he vows, serious despite his smile. "As you're the challenger, the right to choose which weapons we use is yours."
