I had a Shep who turned him down precisely because of this but when he said along the lines of "I hope I won't offend you if I keep you close to my heart," I melted. I wish I had the option of telling him "I TAKE IT BACK! I LOVE YOU! KISS ME YOU FOOL!":D
Thane quotes are the best. I love it when he says, "I hope I won't offend you if I keep you close to my heart."
I also love, "Will you hear my confession, Siha?" and "Not for her, for me. The measure of an individual can be difficult to discern by actions alone. Take you for instance. All this destruction, chaos. I was curious to see how far you'd go to find me. Well, here I am."
Especially the last part.

I love how my
little game went to taking off Thane's jacket. Oh how we love that jacket. And green torsos. As for the widow thing Thane has, I think it suits his character. He has this experience when it comes to love, and he has dealt with loss. I agree that it is cliche, but I think Thane is different enough from your steretypical assassin that he can pull it off. The whole estranged kid thing I didn't like so much. It didn't seem real to me. I can understand Kolyat's anger, but if Thane is willing to reconcile, then realistically, wouldn't Kolyat jump at the chance to be happy with his only living family? He has no one except for his dad, so you would expect him to be more close to him after Irikah died. But if Thane was killing from revenge...
But it bugs me that Thane never focussed on Kolyat during the many years between meeting Shepard and Irikah dying. It was a lot of years, and surely Thane would have been looking after his only child after his mum died. It just doesn't fit in
with his personality, he only considers his son (who he evidently loves very much) many years later when he already knows he has Keprel's. Surely Thane would have done something with Kolyat earlier?
Just my thoughts anyway. I can be serious on rare occassion 
Serious Tash is serious. This requires a serious answer, and marking this day in red. It doesn't happen very often.

Alright on to Thane...
Looking at it from an astrangement perspective, Kolyat is most likely angry with Thane. He finally learns the reason behind Thane's absence but only to find out, Thane was off killing everywhere and not protecting his wife and son. Kolyat blames Thane for his mothers death. Before Thane intervened, it seemed that Kolyat only saw Thane as a failure but then Thane told him, that Kolyat's mother was killed because of his father. WHOA. So for a long time he was under the assumption that Dad abandoned them then to realize, he didn't abandon them, he did his job but he brought his job home and it resulted in a very bad outcome.
Personally, I can see why Kolyat would have difficulty with Thane, his father. He doesn't know him at all. Just what his aunts and uncles probably told Kolyat which was most likely not the truth or very little. So Kolyat really doesn't know Thane, it was only after he received the package did he realize who Thane was but that didn't mean he knows him.
Would you want to know a man, who you thought didn't want to know you?
Just my thoughts. I tend to be too serious so... How about that sports team?
