[ Worms the size of a forearm? Steve stares down at his own forearm too, trying to imagine it. While there are some insects that can grow to be pretty large, that's still only to maybe the size of his palm. On top of that, this guy is saying there are ones that are big enough to swallow a human?
Steve ends up equating what the man describes, at least when it comes to the "grand worms," to one of the Chitauri leviathans. In which case, one of his teammates also got swallowed by one on purpose.
Sometimes Steve really does need to lean back on his heels and reflect on the strangeness of his life. ]
On purpose, huh? I guess I can peg you as a thrillseeker, then. [ Or maybe there was more to the situation, but the guy can elaborate if he wants.
He nods at the mention of Solvunn, then blinks and looks himself over at the newbie's guess. ] Yeah — how'd you know? [ Maybe it's the almost perpetual sunburn across his nose and cheeks, or the sand on his shoes. Apparently that assessing gaze from earlier wasn't for nothing. ]
