With a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning Thor appeared, in golden armor similar to that of Odin and holding Gungnir as he was acting Lord of Asgard while the All-Father slept. Mjolnir if needed would come to him but as Thor approached guards stepped back. About two dozen Einherjar followed him to where this was all taking place but at his command they returned to the palace.
Brunhilde was there already and seemed to have the situation under control though if this encounter soured the Odinson was close by. If they be foes it would be wise for them to believe he was king to prevent Odin being jeopardized. He stayed silent while the Valkyrie questions the newcomers.
