"We're gods."
In hindsight maybe they should of seen it coming.
The kid had always been strong, unnaturally so for his age. Wiser, too, like he could see and understand things others couldn't. Not to mention his knowledge and speed compared to theirs.
When considering that and the fact he had an unstoppable titan for a father, it really maybe you feel stupid. Not mad, disappointed, or any different, really. Just…stupid.
Looking down at the demi-god they now knew was a demi-god and how he nervously clutched his right arm and avoided eye contact, maybe they also felt something kin to pity.
Brok was the first to say something, looking up at an annoyed and slightly guilty Kratos. "…Aight' then. Want a reward er sometin'?"
Kratos's eyes snapped to meet his, face questioning not unlike the time Atreus asked if he could turn into an animal. "That is it? Do you not have else to say, dwarf?"
Brok crossed his arms and nudged his brother, motioning to talk for him. Sindri shook his head to clear the thousands of thoughts running through it and cleared his throat, offering a small smile. "Why would it matter? What and who you are is of no matter to us. You're still family-" Brok snorted. "And damn good customers."
Kratos observed them a moment longer, searching for signs of a lie-and, finding none, sighed and relaxed just a bit. The god tensed again at the tell-tale sound of sniffling and turned towards his boy, seeing him wipe tears that had begun to fall.
Atreus bashfully turned away, wiping away the last of his tears and smiling sheepishly. "S-Sorry, I'm just happy."
Kratos sighed in relief, watching as Brok smirked fondly and rolled his eyes while Sindri hurried to make sure Atreus was really okay.
He hadn't appreciated having a family before until it was too late, and he was going to make sure he did so property this time.
