[ Nngh. He'd been tossed so hard his glamor almost dropped. Impressive. Must find a way to make Banner dislike Thor. Yes. A blink has his full red eyes turn back to their green as he stares up at the woman.
Bite your tongue, Prince. You're here to "make peace" remember? And a splendid job he's doing! ]
[Her brows knit for a moment, but she runs a bar where all sorts of strange people come through and so she mostly is worried about him.] Ok. Lemme just check your pupils. That was...huge. [She peers into his eyes briefly, that worried expression still on her face, and then nods.] OK. No sign of a concussion.
["Get the guy some beer! That'll sort him out!" comes from across the bar.]
That was a Hulk, as it's been explained. [ He recalls this conversation for a moment. That man who dons in iron spoke of what may be waiting if any words the Odinson said of him were in fact true. Loki being... Loki, managed to irritate Banner without even actually trying.
It's a gift. ]
I'd know if I had one. [ He stared and pulled himself upright. A slow tip of his head came next. You're not a mortal. Or are you. Something is different. He cannot place what. ]
[ He is a mage but he is not a norn nor a seer. His ability to sense what is and who is what is minimal. Nevertheless, Loki manages to his feet but holds on to the bar top for a moment. ]
[She nods, forcing herself back on the clock.] Comin' up.
[She pulls him a tankard of microbrewed brown ale, still glancing at him worriedly on occasion. Once it is delivered she goes to start gathering the pieces of the smashed table.]
I'm Maddie. I run the place. You need anything else just let me know.
[ Guess who is not really that good at small talk at all. That would be this guy here. He just smiles, short. And looks around. Ah -- this was not where he remembered he was but if Thor could toss him half across the realm, well. Suppose Banner could be capable of similar strengths. ]
If you don't mind. Might I ask where this is, exactly?
It's what I'm here for. [A warm smile his way and then she's puttering again. She's not the best at small talk herself.]
This is Maddie's Bar, a converted basement level speakeasy in Greenwich Village, which is part of New York City. [Fortunately he had gone through the open door instead of, say, the wall.] This place is neutral territory. Anyone's welcome so long as they pay and don't cause trouble. We get a lot of oddness around here so...your arrival wasn't that unusual.

Ah - Yes. [ Just, you know, give him a moment. ]

...congratulations on being in one piece. Maybe I should get you that beer.
[She steps back politely as he pulls himself up.]
[There is something inside of her, a sort of chained up potential, blocked and bound by an unknown element.]

A drink might be nice.
