"No, I understand that much." Her frown deepens as her gaze drops to her coffee. How to phrase this without directly asking about the issue they both know is there? If Thor isn't offering the knowledge directly, it seems very unlikely he'll open up about his drinking problem without a more pointed question about it. Amelia would still prefer not to back Thor into a corner by calling it out by name unless it's absolutely necessary, so it's time to try something new.
After helping herself to a sip of coffee, she sets the mug aside and pours them each a glass of ginger ale. It's mostly to give herself something to do, but it might also be a tool she can use. "Worse is also a matter of opinion," she muses quietly, offering Thor a glass. "I know things are different for you now than they were a year ago, but in some ways it seems like you're struggling more. Maybe it's an outsider's perspective and everything really is fine, that's plausible. I don't know what you're thinking or feeling outside of what you say."
She looks up slowly and gently places a hand over his when he reaches for the glass of ginger ale. "No matter what you're feeling, I'm here, in good times and difficult ones. But... you offered your hand to me on the darkest of my days and I want to make sure I offer the same to you should you need it."
