Risk passes to the bailee (in this case, Thor) if the bailee retains possession of the goods for an unreasonable length of time, even if there's no intention to purchase. This is based on the principle that holding onto someone else's property for too long without either returning it or making a decision about its purchase can imply acceptance or at least responsibility for its care, thus transferring the risk to the bailee.
