When Thor steps into the bar this time, he's looking much more normal. (For Earth. Not really for Asgard.) He's in black jeans and workboots, and a sturdy brown jacket over a t-shirt -- borrowed clothes again, but this time they mostly fit, and they're suited to the New Mexico winter he's come from.

Of course, humans feel cold rather more acutely than Asgardians do, but Thor is pretty close to human at this point, like it or not. Anyway, he's used to wearing heavy layers of clothing. The jacket's honestly kind of a comfort.

He also steps up into Milliways, because he thought he was getting into a van.

Milliways is unexpected this time too, but his confusion passes rapidly. (And it's much less existential this time. Half a day and a good meal after his first Milliways entrance, Thor has his feet under him much more solidly.) He heads for the bar, although he's perfectly willing to be flagged down along the way.

"I have visited this realm but once," he allows.

"I have been trapped here for some time," Leela says. "Though it is better than where I was when I left.

"My name is Leela," she adds.

"I am Thor," Thor returns absently, while his brows draw together with perturbation.

"Trapped?"

"Well met," she says. "The door that leads out of this hall will not open for me. I am told this often happens.

"I had just been exiled into the forest outside my village when I found myself here. It is better in here than it is out there. The drink is good and the game is plentiful."

Thor frowns a little.

"I am sorry to hear of your trouble," he says.

Exile is -- not a deeply sore subject, not yet, but it touches a nerve.

"I hope you may find your way home soon, for all that this is a comfortable place."

Because everyone wants most to go home. Right?

"That is not likely, so long as the High Priest Neeva has the ear of our leader," she says.

"Perhaps I shall someday. Even if I do not, I shall find a way to survive. Though I may no longer be Sevateem, I am still a warrior."

"Wise words!" Thor approves. Heartily.

He's... not sure what to say to the idea of being exiled from your home because an enemy has turned your king against you, and home is no longer home. So he doesn't say anything about it.

It's not a happy thought.

"You will make your way, I have no doubt."

She moves like she knows what she's doing, and she has a good attitude. What more do you need, in life? (Several things, Thor. But it's still a good start.)

"I do not doubt it either," Leela says. Because confidence is important, right?

"I know how to remain safe and avoid the phantoms of our forests. Though it is easier to do here, where there are none. Still, I suspect I shall return eventually."
