"No, see, that's not how to impress a girl, what you want to do is say something clever and complimentary yourself. 'jealous' is a bad note to hit early -"

"I'm pretty sure it's fine to say Elves are pretty. What you don't ever wanna do is touch their hair."

She takes a few nervous steps backwards. "Yes, don't do that."

"Anyway welcome to Wakanda!"

"You did a really nice job with it, it's lovely!"

"That's Tony, by the way, and that's the instance of Maedhros we're borrowing, and that's Nebula, and that's Carol. Everyone, Lúthien, princess of Doriath and demigod."

"Is Doriath a planet?" asks Carol.

"No, Doriath is a country."

"Hello!"

"Demigod? You were advertised as an Elf."

"That's the other half."

"This planet is having a bad day but there are trees and oceans and things, if you want to run around in them or something since your world looks so microwaved."

"Doriath has trees but an ocean would be neat."

"Gimme a picture," Loki says.

She can pull up an ocean.

"Anybody else coming?"

"Do Elves do bikinis, or -"

"They don't have a nudity taboo, they have the hair thing instead, but I'm sure if she is loaned a bikini she can accommodate local customs."

"Oh, no, I'm very open-minded. Wouldn't want Elves to have to conform to unElfy norms - it's important for people to express themselves -"

"I think this should just be a princesses beach party."

"What is a bikini?"

"Earth swimming costume."

"That's fine. ...not-that is also fine."

"Perhaps there are towels and such to be had and any swimming costumes Shuri considers appropriate for a beach party can be fetched along with them."

"I'll get us swimsuits and towels."

"You're not a princess, are you?" Loki asks Carol.

"Once the people of Griharube tried to add me to their king's harem? Also I might technically be mayor in absentia of Impariko," Carol says.

"Lúthien, Shuri, does that count?"

"Sometime I'd like to hear how Impariko is doing, it was nice there," Carol muses.

"Honestly everyone who isn't going to sexually harass other guests can come to the beach party. I just don't know if this excludes all Americans or all white people or only Tony Stark."
