[MCU] Why is Hela so friendly with Skurge?

I thought it was interesting that the big, bad goddess of death latched onto the first commoner she saw (who wasn't trying to kill her). For the rest of the movie, you see her with Skurge and no one else. She even takes him into the vault! And leaves him alone in there, with Surtur and the eternal flame.

She also hooks him up with the position she said used to be hers, next to Odin. Sentimental much? On top of it all, she talks candidly and openly with Skurge. She's never even mean to him.

I'm sure she doesn't need Skurge, and he can't be the only one in Asgard willing to take a knee. In the end he (rather unsurprisingly) betrays her anyway. So what's the point of all this? Is it an uncharacteristic soft spot on the goddess of death?

She wasn't trying to murder *everyone*. Just the ones who refused her claim. She wasn't some death monger, she saw herself as rightful heir to the throne.

It's almost textbook ruling 101 to put people who are good with you in positions of power. He gets a nice high rank and political power and it's a display to others. If you join her she will treat you right.
