Time-sensitive question how flirt girl

It's been some time since Thor has sought the Nexus for advice. Which is not to say that he's not a regular visitor, but he's felt relatively assured in his day-to-day life enough to feel that he has a good handle on what he's doing with himself, or at least that his struggles are routine and need little guidance to overcome. Today, apparently, this is not the case.

One might be forgiven for assuming the glass bottle in his hand is beer at first glance, but on closer inspection it seems to be a cream soda instead. It's not what he wants, but just having a drink in his hands seems to be a comfort, making it easier to think. The little picnic table is off to one side off the main Plaza, its benches warmed by the summer sun as it overlooks a small koi pond. Thor's one good eye stares through the glinting fish rather than watching them, lost in thought.

What's he supposed to do now?

Is this even a good idea? What happens once a few decades pass? What if he decides not to risk it, and she leaves? Should he even be seriously considering putting himself through this again? He doesn't even know his own heart yet, what if he ends up stringing her along without meaning to?

Those are the questions he keeps to himself, but there are more yet to ask. He picks at the soda label with his prosthetic fingers, metal lightly tapping against the glass.

"How do you realize when you're in love?" Not quite getting to the point, but Thor is honestly not even sure where to start on this one.

"Maybe I'm not saying it right. I don't know what's going on besides what you tell me, and maybe I'm not understanding the situation." Danny shakes his head.

"But what's the other option? Ditch her? I think it'd be justified. She sounds like she's playing games -- she says she loves you, but she's not telling you what she wants, and she doesn't sound like she's ready for commitment the way you're hoping for." Danny lifts his hands helplessly, "And on top of all that, you have your worries about outliving her, and the difficulty of dealing with that. It all sounds like too much trouble to me."

"Well, there you go. Simply do the opposite of all my advice, and it will make more sense to you." Danny's smile quivers for a moment, before he looks away.

Why does he even bother with interpersonal issues? He can never say anything right, and he just ends up looking cold or heartless when he tries to explain his own point of view. Perhaps it's just too deeply ingrained in him to help, or at least try to help.

Oh well. Perhaps it will at least give the guy an idea of what not to do.
