Her cheeks flush a bright red at Jane's pronouncement. It... makes sense for Thor to love her? Amelia doesn't think herself unworthy, but she has wondered at times if Thor couldn't do... better. Even though she's been working on herself, she knows she's a hard person to get along with at times. She's reckless for those she loves, quick to anger, quicker to doubt herself and fall into a panic, and constantly hiding her own thoughts and feelings for the sake of others. She's wondered if that's enough for someone who has an entire people to care for, and it's surprisingly helpful to hear from someone who knows Thor to think she fits here.
She touches the strands of her hairpin gently, grounding herself in the sound and feel of them, then smiles at the other woman. "Thank you." For both statements, but more the first. For now, she holds back saying it. There's no need to make this more awkward between them.
"I didn't intend to build a life here, but I'm grateful I have. I love this place and the people here for being what and who they are. It may not have always been that way, but they're as much a part of me now as the blades I lace into my boots every day." Her cheeks darken a few shades. "Not that they're tools for me to use, of course. It just-- I-I mean to say that my life would be so much less without them." Dreams, that doesn't really help, but she feels better to at least try.
Maybe by asking Jane about herself? It's worth an attempt, and Amelia is curious. "Where do you make your life? Thor has said you study the stars, but I admit the more in-depth explanation escapes me. I've learned a lot since leaving my world, but much of technology and most of Earth's sciences completely elude me." Unless they're broken down past the basics for her. She won't ask Jane for anything like that.
