His belly was full, his lids were heavy and he was sprawled out on a big, sun soaked rock when the call reached his ears. The brute's eyes had slowly opened once more, fighting the urge to close for the brief second that it took his mind to break apart the noise he'd just heard. When it clicked his demeanor changed, every inch of him suddenly becoming alert. He didn't much care for her tone, but apart from that, Thor was glad to hear her voice. It took him a moment to gather enough willpower to stand, but once he was on his paws momentum was enough to get him going.

Thor reached the gathering just in time to catch the exchange between Akemi and Eyfura. His ears flicked back at the older sister's words. He didn't like the picture she painted at all. Suggesting that if she wanted to lead them she'd have sought them out and claimed them? How very much like their father. Immediately he was annoyed. No one would get his loyalty through force ever again. Since the moment he and Baldur left home the brute had been his own sovereign leader, a king, doing as he pleased. It would take a great deal to convince him to follow again, and if he were to ever consider it, it would be on his terms and his terms only.
So far this meeting, at least from Thor's perspective, wasn't going so well. He liked Eyfura well enough, but she thought far too much of herself and her words to Akemi not only betrayed this but immediately closed him off to whatever she was going to suggest. His newly discovered freedom would not be threatened by one who merely thought herself to be lofty. If she'd come down off her high horse and spoken to them as equals instead of idiots he'd have been much more open to the idea of them starting something, but now he wasn't so sure.
Every word out of her mouth pushed him closer and closer to the edge. Honestly, he felt belittled, like she thought she had to spoon feed him his own thoughts. Hey, he knew he wasn't the cleverest member of their family, but that didn't make him an idiot. If she was trying to win him over to a particular idea, it was having the opposite effect. "If this is your way of asking us to band together, you're doing a shitty job of selling the idea." He locked eyes with each sibling in turn, "Can any of you honestly say there's one among us who you'd follow?" If anyone wished to sell themselves as head honcho, this was one brute they'd have a hard time selling to. Seconding Baldur's query, Thor turned his gaze to Eyfura. Obviously she had something in mind or she wouldn't have called them all together. "No more "convincing" just speak plainly."
