He hit the palm of his hand down on the table as he did so. Wiping his face clear he waved his hand towards Thor. [color=#b496f1]"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I realise this isn't a joking matter. Let me just recap before we continue."[/color] Steve sat up straight and looked at Thor directly in the eyes. [color=#b496f1]"You drop in out of nowhere, go to a bar. Say you're here to take charge of Earth. Then you come to speak to me, basically say we're worthless and waiting to be ruled by yourself. Tell me if we don't bow to you then your father is going to come and force us to submit, then you complain about [I]my[/i] lack of hospitality?"[/color] This was nearing the point of failed diplomacy. When the name Thor had actually been dropped Steve had been hopeful, in all the myth and legends that he had the archivists dig while Thor was on his journey to the Helicarrier had painted Thor in a very positive light. A friend to humanity, an ally. If he was who he claimed to be his demeanour was leaving a lot to be desired. [color=#b496f1]"You know I wanted to believe you were one of the good ones, instead, you come and threaten our freedom and our very lives. To be completely honest you don't sound like the kind of King, or God, we want trying to rule our world. Why is it that you're here, really? Is it just to come and threaten us into submission? If you're a being of reason, you should understand how unreasonable your request is. If you want to protect this planet, how about we talk about that, instead? Why are you here?"[/color] Steve had originally hoped to have Diana come in and talk some sense into him, he technically shouldn't have been using her as an asset with her... colourful relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D but when it came down to talking about gods he was way out of his depth, he still went to church on a Sunday if he could make it and nothing in the bible seemed to match the picture Thor was trying to paint. Now? He couldn't risk putting her in the same room it would likely just escalate things further and he was trying to [I]avoid[/i] a fight.
