For a man who's having to apparently deal with a god wearing his dead father's face, Kirk has a remarkably level head about all this. Thor's impressed despite himself. He's not sure he'd be handling it half as well if he came across an Odin who was not Odin, himself. "Well," he says after a moment, "of all the people who've ever complained about my face, yours is the most legitimate grievance I've ever heard."

Not that it's a long list, mind you. But it seems a tiny morsel of levity would not go amiss to ease away the awkwardness. Now that he's looking for it, he can almost see a whisper of family resemblance in the human's face, enough that it's not at all hard to believe he's telling the truth.
