"We didn't talk about anything in my family ever. Everything was a secret." Loki's origins, the person Odin was before he decided to become a benevolent ruler, their sister he imprisoned in hell, everything that was going through Loki's head.
"I'm not going to let us not talk about it. That stuff earlier --" Another handwave. "-- just felt like another attempt to avoid having to talk about it."
Thor was quite familiar with that tactic at this point. His father going into Odinsleep, then later dissolving into Odin Force... his brother using his words as a verbal barrier from any semblance of a reasonable discussion.
Things had only just now started to get better. At least between him and Loki. Things had never really changed between him and his father. There were secrets up until the end.
Thor had spent the last few months running away from his problems. It was only after he talked to Tony and Tony gave him some small hope to cling to -- the hope that maybe if he couldn't save his reality, maybe he could save Tony's -- that he finally, really started to get better.
And that, maybe, is why he can't stand to think of Tony clinging to whatever he's got inside of him.
