The lone cobalt eye alights as he hears her call him that, even if it was paired with that bow of hers. Thor nods, in kind and tilts his head as he watches her. It’s still strange for him to see with only one eye... Thankfully, it appears his body is helping to fill that void by heightening his other senses as compensation. ❛ As I will ever be, ❜ comes his answer, despondently. Of all the things that have happened in his life as of late, the god is thankful for Valkyrie. She’s been pushing him, coaching him in a way, to be as ------ normal, as he could, but better than that at the same time. And well... He was always a sucker for a strong headed woman, so it’s only right that the more time they’d been spending together, the more the thunderer felt for the warrior.
Looking down, Thor bends a little so she doesn’t have to reach too much as she closes the distance between them and kisses him. Thor all but melts into the kiss, every time she does that to him, he does his best to memorize the feeling of her lips on his. The way she tastes on his tongue, the subtle scent she carries that makes her all but irresistible to him. When she pulls away, the thunderer is a little more than dazed, and it takes a moment for the fog to lift from his mind, before he remembers what they were actually trying to do, train. ❛ Then let us begin, for I will definitely win more kisses from you, ❜ he says, a sly grin on his face as he raises his eyebrows to the smaller woman in challenge.
