They'd both grown some in the months he'd been gone. Whatever the sensation he felt, it quickened his heart and had him tongue tied for a moment as she asked where he'd gone. "Got snatched up" he stated bluntly, eyes meeting hers as his lips curled into a grimace. "I slaughtered them all. Got lost.

What had they ever been to one another besides enemies vying for the same thing? The silence began as his gaze fell back to hers and he stood there silently, his frowning expression seeming to hold no real joy in being back though his muscles tensed betraying his fear that she would cast him out for being gone. 

In response he only got a dubious look and a nod to come in before Hela turned and walked off saying little more about anything but leaving him free to enter.
