Filed under: Assistant’s Notebook

Observation log #001

Subject: Thor Odinson

Objective: Assistant demonstrated a Midgardian gesture directed at Tony Stark.

The subject immediately attempted to replicate the gesture, interpreting it as a positive social custom.

Efforts to correct this misunderstanding were unsuccessful.

Explanations provided only reinforced his belief that Midgardians possess "very confusing customs."

Thor has subsequently used this gesture on the following individuals:

• Tony Stark

• Two palace guards

• An unnamed nobleman

• Loki (once)

Further intervention may no longer be feasible.

Origin: Assistant’s purse.

Estimated age: Approximately four years.

Document status: Somehow still preserved.

Recovered item: Emergency reference card.

Context: Created on the first day of employment to avoid forgetting Tony Stark’s coffee order.

Additional observations: The coffee order was memorized within two days.

The note, however, was never thrown away.

Archivist’s note: Subject insists this document no longer serves any practical purpose.

Evidence suggests that it may possess sentimental significance.

Witnesses: Assistant, Thor, Two guards, Probably Heimdall

Property damage: None. (surprisingly)

Professionalism: Under review.

Conclusion: Research somehow progressed.
