[ Oh look, it's the not-'Asgardian'!Asgardian! And he holds his hand up, palm outward in silent greetings. ]
Friends, newcomers - [ ...and Malekith... ] - well met. I shall keep brief: we have faced war. And we have had our dead and our wounded to show for the victory.
[ And now, he turns slightly more somber. ]
I do not ask whether you fight for this land or its people, for your pleasure or your lives alone. Whatever your reasons, we do not die here. In this, I think, we all agree. Yet...
[ He has the grace to look sheepish. ]
...apologies, but many of you walk as if targets. You know nothing of battle, and the gifts given to you in this land do not serve. The meager war crafts would be of help to you: shield bearing, the handling of sword and hammer. I do not speak of great ability, but enough that you can bide yourselves the time to run.
[ Firmer, now. ]
So: those who wish to learn, give say of what weapon might suit you. Those who know of battle and wish to teach it, name your skill and offer service. And those who once held sorcery alike to the one gained here, volunteer counsel of how to improve it.
For my part, I wield the hammer. I lack in patience, but do not scold unfairly. What knowledge I have is yours to take.
[ Is the part where he riles half of Asgard done with? OH THANK EVERYTHING, time to offend the other half. ]
Past every man's care, we can seek to defend the city. Who here runs inventory? Have we cannons? Rams? Horses? If anyone wishes to learn, or organize legions - you have my aid in this. There lies opportunity. Another is with our fellows, the grey ones. A frail-bearded man wrote that we do not give them thought or time. Perhaps he is wise, and there is more to be done in alliance.
[ And then he stares at the camera for a long moment of rather stupid blinking, before dissolving into laughter, because - ]
That... was not brief.
[ ooc: woah, tl;dr. iiif you'd like to get involved, just have your character volunteer to teach their faito skills, and I'll have Thor send some/all of the characters who want to pick up said skills their way o/ . ]

[He literally dives across the bed, hanging off the edge of it and pulling out a basket underneath the bed itself, tugging it up onto the bed and sitting cross legged.]
Okay, this is a kunai. Kinda special though, it's my Dad's.
You can throw 'em, or just-- you know.
[Just in case you don't, he turns it around in his hand, quite well actually, shoving his hand forward in a slicing motion.]
There's shuriken too. You throw them, they're pretty cool.
[He's got a palm full of them, and demonstates by throwing one at the wall... even if it does go a little off course and lands in the wall instead of the door... but you didn't need to know what his intended course was.]
