[Just as Mantis brought back his laughter, she's bringing back other feelings he's buried for some time. It aches again, the wanting feeling he has for her is strengthening with every trill and touch.
It seems silly to feel this way, at a time like this. It's not a situation that lends itself to romance and yet, they both need it more than ever. Thor is eager to lose himself in it for the evening and not consider what could happen the day after.
And yet, there's a slight inclination to make it continue. Thor is driven by his desire to protect, taking Mantis under his wing is no surprise. What surprises him is that he finds himself entrusting her with something he's barely considered until now. The universe has lost half of it's population- some even more than half. It's only natural that his mind should turn to repopulating, especially while they still can. He's disregarded the fact that at least some of his attraction to her stems from the fact that she's an eligible candidate for keeping his line alive.
