Though the mask makes it impossible for Thor to see Peter's face, he can see the uncertainty in the boy's stance, and why shouldn't he be? Thor has been a blooded warrior for a thousand years and slayed countless foes on the field of battle, and depriving him of a weapon makes him no less the god of thunder. It'd be a madman who wouldn't be nervous about fighting him, especially one so incredibly young.

But there's also little satisfaction in simply grinding a friendly opponent into the dirt without either of them having time to enjoy the thrill of combat, nor is Spider-Man the only one looking to learn something from the experience.

Thor squares his shoulders and loosens up his fists, preparing himself for the fun ahead, and chuckles at the question. "Oh, I'm ready to begin as soon as you are. Your move first, my friend." Sure, being on the defensive will put him at a disadvantage, but Thor is willing to make that trade to see how his young friend fights first.
