Hades gives a subtle nod of acknowledgement of Odin's statement. "I agree, we have been in this place long enough. The riddle indicates we must work together in order to leave. I am certainly not opposed to that. Did you have an idea of a course of action?" Hades asked politely, but evenly. He could not show any signs of weakness. He reminded Aphrodite's words. Odin respected both intelligence and a warrior's strength.

Hades didn't raise so much as an eyebrow at the implications that Odin would come straight to him. Still, the acknowledgement of a respected god-king such as Odin certainly didn't hurt his cause.
