[He takes a breath, letting the idea sink in rather than dismiss it out of hand. He hasn't fared too badly yet; Asgardians are well known for being able to battle onwards with little sustenance or rest. But this isn't a fight and there's no adrenaline to help him here. Just the holes blasted in his heart.]

I will think on it. If it becomes a problem.

[Wanda didn't expect him to accept (and she would have been really worried if he did), but it's important to her to put the option out there. Little good has ever come of that aspect of her powers, but if there's a chance it could help someone...]

I hope it doesn't. If you find something to listen to, that can also help.

[Now they've hit a concept Thor doesn't understand. It's clear from the quizzical expression he suddenly gets.]

Why would I listen to something if I want to sleep?

[seeingscarlet]

Don't you have bedtime stories at home? Sometimes Vision reads to me when I can't sleep.

Some people like the sounds of rain or waves, or the hum of the ship's engine. It's soothing.

I did when I was a child.

[The idea of being read to as an adult is ... not one that has ever occurred to him. He shakes his head, bewildered.]

Well I always like the sound of rain-- [Of course he does. He's a weather god.] --but I have never thought about what I'm hearing when trying to sleep.

[seeingscarlet]

It can give your mind something else to focus on so it doesn't go back to painful things so easily.

You might be able to find something the next time we stop? I was surprised how much I could find at home.

[Thor can also make it rain in reality if he feels the need. He isn't certain he'd be able to hear that from his ship quarters, though. Breathing out through his nose, he nods once.]

I could, if I feel the need.

[Wanda manages a sheepish smile.]

I have tried a lot of strange things, but it was more helpful than I thought. Better than putting lavender on everything.
