[They reach Asgard three days later. Not much else is said in that time, and the people of Asgard are not precisely happy to have Desian-caused refugees in their lap -- but Asgard hasn't been much bothered by the Desians save as an outside fear. There's a reason for that, but it's one of the things Kratos isn't mentioning, because it actually isn't relevant.
