Thor's never opened up to her like this, and it's a bit surprising that it's coming out after she's pushed on him so much. It's not an unwelcome surprise, though all Amelia can really do right now is appreciate the fact that he's sharing anything with her. How important these friends are - or were, perhaps? - to him is something she'll leave to him to reveal as he feels comfortable.
Her expression is warm, if still on the neutral side, as she listens. "A fitting way to celebrate a hard and well fought battle," she offers. "Time with friends over good food and drink is always a treat, too." A thing not properly appreciated until it's gone, of course, but that's something they both know without her calling it out. Her lips tug into a rueful smile. "The days after aren't always so kind if the celebrating is a little much, but I've found it's usually worth the struggle of finding my feet again."
There's so much she wants to ask right now. Biting her tongue and holding back her curious nature is difficult, but she doesn't want to hurt him any more than she already has today. One wrong question could send him back into a place where his problems with alcohol don't exist.
