"He approved of me before you were born," Thor said with typical arrogance. He might be able to show deference but he was not without his foibles. "I do not think any has refused the chance to marry into the throne of Asgard either so his approval isn't important."

These were not wise words though Thor meant them more to mean that his position was more important than his character to many people and might be viewed as an insight into whatever insecurity Thor might possess. But it also sounded as if Jotunheim was lucky to finally have a daughter chosen to consort the crowned Prince. Thor's infatuation with Loki, however, might save him his foolishness.

None, not even Laufey, could deny that having Thor wrapped around Loki's finger was a blessing.
