The boy stepped back and made a face, his words laced with venom that dripped off his canines like a snakes fangs. Though the words bounced off Thor like he were rubber the man shrugged and gave him another sly look with a smile, A good romp from anyone is a good time lad... The burning ember of a beast tossed back easily, his words quipped back as if they were nothing.

Thor didn't step forward but he did indeed raise his tail a little bit as if to signal he wouldn't back away from a challenge. His chest was still puffed out as if pride were beaming behind his actions and words, Thorvald didn't back down from a challenge and he surely didn't let the words of some kid bother him.
