The telltale signs of sadness are written all over his face. Try to hide it as he might, it's easy for Amelia to see she's upset Thor on some level with her thoughtless comment. She's never been one for optimism, but a town like this, set on the sea and reminding her so much of her lost home, she can't help but feel hopeful. Tragedy is written in her blood and now it's written in Thor's, too. Even if he thinks all that's happened that's led to him settling what remains of his people here is his fault, Amelia would never accuse him of it or encourage the thought. Actions done in good faith, selfish as they can be at times, aren't a reason to drown oneself in guilt and regret.

If it were... the rogue would have drowned long before she found the Nexus. She can't teach others to justify the ends with whatever means are necessary in the moment, but she hopes she can help lift people from their sadness. In a place this beautiful, this... perfect, there's no room for self-pity and misery. Grief will linger as long as it needs to, but that doesn't mean the rest of the heavy emotions should have a reason to take hold.

But that's a conversation to hold another time. Thor's willing to show her more of his magic and she's eager to see it and ask more questions of it. Starting with one asked completely in earnest and with an innocence of what he's alluding to. "Your magic can affect people? What does it do? Cause hair to grow faster? Encourage growth in children?"
