Adjusting to 2020 was going more easily than Steve might have thought. Adjusting to the odd things this Entity seemed to like to do was a little more slow going. Despite the upheaval and the initial surprise, though, he couldn't deny Asgard was a stunning place. And it was, admittedly, made that much more beautiful by having Diana there.

That was something else that might take some getting used to. But in a good way. He had gone into that fight one hundred percent ready and accepting that he wasn't going to come out of it. And then he had landed here. Obviously, he wasn't exactly disappointed to find the woman he'd gone and fallen for there (and single, to his admitted relief). But it had been a very long time for her and the blink of an eye for him.

But that was alright. It had to be. Because he was getting another chance at living and another chance to have this woman in his life and he could maybe live with future showing cookies and surprise trips to the home of the gods if it meant he could get another few years out of life.

He arrived at Diana's side, offering a glass of what he was fairly certain was mead. "Better than infiltrating German parties any day, I'd say." And he was pretty sure Diana didn't have any immediate intentions of killing anyone tonight, so that was already a plus.

That sentiment Diana understood very well. Ever since arriving, she'd been looking over her shoulder for the next strike. Things had not exactly been calm when she left her world, just barely having teamed up with her team to prevent the veritable end of the world. She still had so much to share with Steve, but perhaps they truly would have time. Time enough that she didn't need to dump everything on him in one or two visits.

With her free hand, Diana rested her hand against the side of his face and offered a sympathetic smile. Even as he turned the bravado back on, she didn't relent.

"Trouble could be around any corner, but there's no need to worry here. Not tonight. That much I believe."

Sipping at her drink, she drew that same hand down to fiddle with his outfit absently, then laughed. "I can't say I lament the change in fashion. Clothes in general have become much less cumbersome." Perhaps a little too revealing for some, but given the nature of Amazon dress--Diana had already been used to dressing comfortably rather than for the sake of some ridiculous notion of modesty.

"There you go trying to jinx us again," he teased, but her words succeeded in calming him slightly. Maybe, at least for one night, he could actually relax and enjoy just...living. That was something to think about in itself. He had this second chance and he damn sure intended to make it count.

She was so casual, so easy with her affection that Steve could almost pretend that no time at all had passed for her. That was something else he was going to have to really sit down and wrap his head around. What had been the blink of an eye for him had been nearly one hundred years for her. And she still looked exactly as she had the day she'd pulled him out of the sea.

That was going to make some waves for a long term relationship, now wasn't it?

He couldn't help grinning as a memory teased him, though. "I distinctly remember the first time we tried to put you in a corset. For someone used to wearing armor, you'd think we were asking you to stab yourself on your sword." And, if Steve knew his secretary as well as he thought he did, Etta nearly had done just that. The revealing nature of the more modern fashions were a bit of a surprise to him, but after the general culture shock had worn off, he figured he would adjust easily enough. Besides, women weren't the only ones benefitting from more comfortable clothing.
