She certainly hasn't gotten any more pleasant to look at since he last saw her - not that she's ugly or anything, but the way she looks at him still creeps him the Hel out. Or would, if he wasn't feeling so sorry for himself. Trick-or-treating, never again.
Whether it's the candy hangover or that he's actually trying to get along, Thor's not trying to throw his power or name around this time. And look, she even responded without changing the subject, or getting worked up about who he is. Almost as if these two things were related, hmm.
"A god king, yes," he answers, though not to boast, this time around. "He was a lover of peace, in my lifetime. Weary of war and conquest. He chose to hide certain truths in the interests of keeping that peace, though I wonder now if he was right to do that." Loki, Hela... not to mention the bloody campaigns that plundered the gold which lined the halls of the palace, if Hela is to be believed. It's taken Thor centuries to question his father's motives, to see him as more than the wizened and wise king Odin appeared to be, and even now he struggles to reconcile the father he idolized with the history he's learned since. What more doesn't he know?
"He could be harsh, at times. When he needed to be. He often knew the best thing to say, whether to soothe wounded pride or to push back against youthful arrogance."
