Seeing how the massive puppy was only looking at Thanatos with admiration while glaring at him with hostility Marco sighed.
He now saw that he was completely in the wrong, he realised that the dog only wanted to play with Thanatos. But he had gone ahead and attacked it when it showed no hostility.
He stepped back and bowed his head, this action though simple managed to shock both Thanatos and Cerberus.
Marco began to apologise, "I'm sorry, I assumed that the Cerberus was trying to kidnap you Thanatos... So in panic I overreacted and attacked it causing this weird situation."
He raised his head, "Though this may sound shallow but I truely feel remorseful about the actions I had taken. If you are unsatisfied you are welcomed to hit me."
The sincere manner which Marco apologised stunned both Thanatos and Cerberus. They remembered how Hades threw a fit even though he was wrong.
And later when confronted he was simply arrogant stating "So what? I am the king of Greek Hell, what will you do now insect."
Thanatos knew how powerful Marco was already, he already had the background information from Aphrodite on how Marco fought Lucifer to almost a standstill.
Quite the insane feat let alone how he sent Loki to the moon and appear completely fine after dealing with that tricky annoyance.
He knew that it was basically a trophe by this point that all powerful beings were arrogant as all hell, but enter this man that shatters that stereotype.
Deciding to end the awkward mood hanging in the air Thanatos waved his hand and gestured to Cerberus. Though internally the respect he had towards Marco soared.
"Technically it's not your fault too, no need to take things too seriously, Cerbi was kind of in the wrong for just charging at us and 'kidnapping' me."
Thanatos scratched his head continuing "Let's just say no one here is in the wrong ok? As technically both are just looking out for me one wat or the other."
Marco nodded, and almost immediately his eyes glowed with anticipation "How will we be training now?"
The question hit Thanatos like a bag of bricks, honestly he could only think of guiding Marco by imparting him with the various scythe techniques he possessed.
As he pondered how to train Marco considering the vast amount of power he had. Honestly if he didn't know better the amount of energy Marco showcased when 'rescuing' him was on par if not equivalent to Zeus when he was furious.
This only solidified how insanely strong Marco was, seeing that he had that much power with getting serious.
These thoughts kept Thanatos busy while Marco approached the Cerberus. Instantly appearing Infront of it, the massive beast shivered a clear look of fear was painted on its enormous face.
Stroking it's fur Marco spoke gently, "No need to worry, and I am sorry. I only attacked you because I assumed that you wanted to eat Thanatos."
Hearing this the beast calmed down, now its fear abated it's eyes glowed with excitement. He gestured with it's snout, as if inviting Marco for a casual hunt.
Marco was amused but still accepted, but before they left he suggested. "How about we make this a competition? Whoever brings back the biggest prey wins."
Cerberus's eyes glowed even more excited as it nodded. Seeing the beast's acceptance Marco grinned and counted down "3… 2… 1… START!!!"
Before both parties shot off in different directions in search of prey. Thanatos didn't know yet but this little hunt would result in many headaches and relieve for him.
