3. [The technology of this world sure isn't as advanced as the Kree, you mean.
Noh-Varr's learned to be patient with humanity. They're still a puzzle to him, sometimes, but one he's come to appreciate and like quite a lot. One he thinks is well worth defending. And though it might be a challenge, sometimes, to deal with how primitive their technological developments can be, it's nothing he can't get around or can't compensate for with his ship. If he'd had his ship here, that is. He'll just resign himself from having to build anything he needs from real scratch now instead.
It puts him in mind of one of his favorite movies, though, the classic Back to the Future trilogy, as though it were the future that actually worked out and not the reality he's been living in. Complete with the hovering skateboards, and he's never had an opportunity to build one or see one before, but he knows what to do.]
Hey, kid. Do you mind if I borrow that?
[He doesn't wait for an answer before he grabs the board out of the kids hands, jumping on with the kind of flexibility and grace you don't see in most ordinary humans. He's seen it before, in abstract; he knows exactly what he needs to do to grind out some sick moves. Grind down the bannister, use the momentum at the end to flip off, three complete 360 turns while he grabs some sweet air (that's the term, right? He's going to have to look it up) before he rights himself again and slides neatly to a stop, a mid-air snowboarder.]
Thank you. [He says to the astonished small children, his tone perfectly serious but his expression somehow both innocently thrilled, all at the same time.] I've always wanted to do that.
[If only Loki or someone had been here to instagram it.
If only he still had a team of friends to appreciate it.
