It's in times like these that Thor finds a little comfort in ritual, structured ways to honor the fallen and feel as though one is accomplishing something other than just waiting. Jie will find no objection from Thor, who nods also, and thinks of his own people's customs. "Bring pine, if you have it." Maybe it will do nothing more than expected, but if there is a Tyr in this world, it surely cannot hurt to ask him to watch over Steve.
Sixteen hundred years is a long time indeed. Longer than Thor has lived already, if only barely. His jaw tightens under the braided beard, but he nods regardless. "I certainly hope not. Things... things can change too quickly to wait that kind of time." It took less than a decade for his own world to be turned upside down, and a certain future is no longer so certain. But of all the Avengers, Blaze is right that Thor is lucky in that he can wait so long, if it comes to that. "Though I suppose if he takes his time, he might have a shot at beating me sparring eventually," he adds in a lighter tone, though when he tries to imagine himself old and gray, all he can picture is Odin. Well, if his father could be battle-ready nearly to his twilight years, surely Thor can last as long.
