Aslan may not need a weapon, but Thor prefers to have his options open, just in case. He grins over at the Lion, tightening the last buckle of his vambrace. "I should hope so." Being king is not what he would have chosen for himself, not this soon, but he's stepped up to the challenge and he, at least, is convinced he's doing as well as expected given the circumstances.

Given that Aslan only has his own natural weapons, however, it doesn't seem necessarily fair for Thor to take up a blade against him. This is only a friendly sparring match, after all, and Thor is far from helpless without a weapon in his hand. So he doesn't grab one either, limbering up his arms a little in preparation for the battle ahead. "Any particular rules of engagement?"
