"This is why I never want to be a god," he says with a sigh, before giving Thor a sheepish look. "Uh, no offense. At least on my world, it comes with a ton of baggage that I don't want to deal with." He sighs and adds thoughtfully, "Maybe you have to be a bastard to ascend to Olympus. I'm much happier where I am, even if my glory is in the accomplishments of humanity and not my own powers."

His nose wrinkles at the mention of the sea serpent. "If he does, we can toss him at the kraken and let them fight it out on an abandoned planet. Like a... oh, what do the humans call them? A kaiju movie." He's being a bit irreverent because of the mead, but it is fun sometimes to speculate.

As the conversation turns back to marriage and children, he listens silently, a moment or two passing before he replies. "I don't see why you still can't marry for love. I married for love and I wasn't even looking for a relationship. Was Jane a mortal, was that why your father disapproved?" The Titan has always had a deep discomfort with gods being involved with mortals for a variety of reasons, although most of those don't apply to Thor. He's not a 'love them and have his wife find out and turn them into a cow' sort of god.
