>>42215280I think his point about how it 'wasn't their business' meaning Kratos and Atreus is sound. Kratos had no real reason to force Baldur to stop doing anything except trying to kill him and his son and prevent them from finishing their journey. He even later says that if Atreus had to kill him (Kratos) to survive, he would let his son do the deed, yet he robbed Freya of that same parental right. Kratos had no reason to save her life, one for hypocrisy reasons, one for simple social distance.
If Baldur had to die to keep him from being a thorn in their side, he could have done that before the whole act with Freya.
