Such an argument is so preposterous that it's not even worth a reply. Thor knows exactly what he's missing, and if he never had to drink another cup of tea in his life, he would be content with that.

The question, however playful, has Thor reflecting on it a bit more seriously. Should he be envious of this? "It came at a great cost," he says quietly, absently rubbing the metal of his artificial arm, a constant reminder of the price he'd had to pay to save this many. "If we can build something worthy of the sacrifices it took, I will be happy with that. We've come so far already."

It's easier for him to believe that now that the streets are full of people, now that the Earth is not horribly empty as it was after the Titan used the stones. This is progress, and he can see it with his own eye.
