She may have been successful in holding back her laugh with a hand over her mouth, but Thor was not quite so subtle in his own reaction. His chuckle wasn't anywhere near as loud as it could have been; but there was no attempt made to stifle it either. Though his reaction of amusement was brought on by watching her own response, feeding off of her emotion rather than anything else. That was a dangerous thing sometimes; being so affected by the mood of someone else. But when you reflected someone's anger or their pain as though it was your own; it also meant you shared joy and laughter just as freely with the same intensity; and that could be a wonderful thing.
He came to a stop as she did. "No need to apologize. The earth tends to take over once we turn our backs." Although it looked as though she had been away from this particular temple a very long time, for the ivy and the weeds to creep in as they had.
His attention was then drawn to the sight of a second wolf pup heading straight in their direction, from the entrance of the temple. His brow furrowed, confused; as he had never seen an animal respond quite like that. Especially for one so young, to charge towards a strange presence as though it expected something. Completely fearless and without hesitation. "That is... very strange. Are you certain you've not been here in some time? It seems to think you are it's mother." He was teasing, though the pup did regard her with a familiarity that was entirely unusual. Maybe her patronage had something to do with animals?
It had to be something of that variety, because the pup wandered to a stop at her feet; completely disregarding Thor. He was a nonentity to the wolf; a pesky obstacle in the way of it's desired destination. This made Thor chuckle again, but this time it was in response to her stern expression and failed attempt to get the pup to go back in the direction it came. "A valiant attempt." He smirked; as the pup clearly had it's mind set on approaching her. Thor knelt down to ruffle it's soft fur gently, because for whatever reason; it was allowing him to do so. And he could hardly resist the opportunity to interact with a creature that was typically so reserved and weary of humans, much less gods. He'd had plenty of pets before, when his children had been younger. But this was not like a dog. This was nature, pure and wild; and it was fascinating to be able to observe it so closely.
The pup continued to allow him to run his hands over it's fur lightly, seeming to enjoy the attention though it's gaze was still fixed on Thyone. Thor made a beckoning motion for her to kneel down as well; "What is your patronage, by the way? And if this is your temple, you must spend most of your time in your own realm, I assume?" There were the bombarding questions, though he managed to keep them to two at once. For now.
