Prepared to entertain a certain level of resistance to his claims, for it felt as though Ky was predisposed to disagreeing with him at every hurdle encountered, when he hears him renounce his human heritage it becomes an issue that Thor cannot help but show his discontent for. 

“Be that as it may, it does not give you licence to kill humans.”

A brave rebuff, but he doesn’t maintain momentum by bothering to uphold his position on the matter. Worn down, Thor’s shoulders sagged, the corners of his mouth turning downwards as he reached the final stretch of his attempts to dispel the other’s negativity; a task akin to moving through muck, for all who cared to try. “Clearly you are as selective with your hearing as you are with focusing your attention.” There was no gainsaying the flat certainty that Ky’lar was unlike the others. And whilst he could acknowledge the fact that the implicated half-breed was not of sound mind when committing the murders, the blond was still stubborn enough to believe that he was not beyond help.

“I want to help you, Ky’lar, should you permit me to do so.”

_{“i don’t need your help!” the truth was, he did – far more than he would ever admit, but that was the obvious. whatever trust ky had with thor, he wasn’t going to put his ‘life’ in the other’s hands – maybe he would if the moment called for it, but now? not really. it just wasn’t what he wanted to do.}

_{“people die every-day, thor. what if i kill – no, slaughter a few hundred? it’s nothing in the longer scheme of things. nothing!” actually, it was – truth be told, ky had killed far more than just a few hundred in his life-time. he didn’t even remember them; all he knew was it helped kill the urge that was right under his skin at times.} 

_{“humans are weak and fragile. they die with-out any effort on my part. say a few words, put on a show, and they bow.” not that it mattered to ky – if he wanted to, he’d take over a realm for himself, but he wasn’t ready for that yet. maybe if he had more control, but for now? all it would amount to is being stuck in a cage in his grandfather’s realm for several years.} 

_{“it might not give me licence to kill them, but they are easy prey. if i had access to other worlds, don’t you think i’d go to them? i’m stuck here – either in my grandfather’s realm or here. there is no in-between. not even if i wanted to.” oh, there were ways, but he just didn’t feel like going about them.}
