[ Maybe I get it, Nero says, and Thor watches his back as he turns away. In a strange way, he thinks that maybe Nero is one of the only people who really does understand. Maybe that's why the argue so much -- too much in common. Not that Thor would ever admit that aloud, least of all to Nero.
He lets Nero lead the way, content to fall into step beside him. He can't say he's glad to know that Nero is prickly about his family as well. Thor loved his family -- even Loki, even at his worst, and that was what had made it so painful in the end, to lose them one by one. To be betrayed by them. It isn't something he would wish on Nero who, as far as Thor can tell, is a good person despite his bad attitude.
But what does he know? Maybe Nero's family all love him and he just finds it embarrassing. ]
Wait wait... You have a girlfriend? A real one? [ As opposed to, you know, a sword.
Thor claps him on the shoulder, genuinely delighted. ] What is the lady's name? What is she like?
