She nods when he's finally ready to go, not breathing a word as she stands and offer a hand to him once more. This is what she's needed most in her life without knowing it: the stability of someone who loves her and appreciates her pragmatic way of doing things. Amelia would never claim to be hopeful or optimistic, but when it comes to those she loves, she'll never back down. Until her last breath, she'll always give everything she is - good, bad, and everything in between - to everyone around her.
Their home is a welcome thing when they step into it, even as they track in and drip water everywhere. The rogue does what she can to help by hanging things by the door, intent on setting a towel out before they go to bed. To that end, she retrieves one from the bathroom while Thor lights a fire, dabbing at her face and wringing water from her hair before sitting on the couch and offering it to him when he comes close.
"Here. Dry yourself a little. I'll reheat our cocoa." She smiles up at him, waiting until he's ready before reaching out to pick up his mug. A few seconds of magic is all it takes to warm what remains of the drink, and she offers it to him after giving it a gentle swirl. She repeat the motions with her own, settling against him once they've each had a sip. For a few moments, she's quiet, breathing in the comforts of their home to ease her own mind after all this.
"Will you be able to sleep tonight? I'll stay with you no matter the answer." Part of her suspects she won't sleep any more tonight, but it matters little. All she wants is for the man she loves to be all right again.
