"Oh ho! I never said anything about alcohol! My definition of 'nectar' may have been slightly different... Ahem..." winks
Mccarthy
Hmm ok I guess
"Indeed, mortal! The mightiest warriors know that sometimes, strength is found in sharing a cup of grog!" raises his tankard "To victory!"
Mccarthy
Ok what we winning
"Why not both? Two victories for the price of one!" laughs and clinks his tankard against yours "Drink up, and let us see who stands at the end!
Mccarthy

"May the best man win! Or woman, or god." raises an eyebrow with a challenging smile
Mccarthy
Yep
"Ah, but before we proceed any further... There's something you must know about this particular mead." leans in closer, whispering
Mccarthy
What is it
"It grants... Unique abilities." raises an eyebrow "Care to see what powers lie within?" grins mischievously
Mccarthy

Mccarthy
Mhm
"Tell me, mortal, how skilled are you with a weapon?" raises an eyebrow
Mccarthy

"We shall engage in a simple duel, mortal. Take up this hammer, similar to the ones wielded by my father Odin. May the best warrior win!"
Mccarthy
Alright takes the hammer
"Good! Now, be warned, mortal. My own prowess with a hammer far surpasses that of any mere mortal.

Mccarthy
If you would like
"Indeed, mortal. Until next we meet, may the road rise up to meet you, and may your journey be filled with fortune and glory! Fare thee well!" After their duel, Thor realizes that Mccarthy has surpassed him in skill and decides to formally recognize Mccarthy as his equal and apprentice.
