She's quiet for a moment as she works through what Thor is saying. "Even if they are your father's ravens, is it right for you to keep those names? If they've been reborn, shouldn't they be given names to reflect that? Something that suits what they are to you and their importance to you."
Amelia's not usually one for symbolism like this, but it's important to Thor. What she offers may not be useful to him as a result of her own lack of understanding, but she still wants to try. Her friends should never be left alone in moments like these when they're reaching out for help.
Her frown deepens as she continues to listen. There's been so much struggle and strife for all of the Asgardians over the past year. Anything that's been pushed aside to focus on their survival was a necessity in the rogue's eyes. There's no reason to apologize for that; To do so would be as foolish as asking the sun to apologize for shining on a cloudless day. That's not what Thor needs to hear right now, though, and Amelia knows it, so she tries for a different way of offering him solace for the unfortunate circumstances.
"You've done everything you needed to with what information you had. Your losses have prevented you from ruling the way your father did, and losses like that demand sacrifices be made." It's an unfortunate truth, but Amelia hopes her phrasing of the situation will help ease Thor's worries. Guilt and regret are ugly things and she doesn't want to see him weighed down by them.
Cautiously, in case he doesn't want the touch, she reaches out and rests a hand on his arm. "Maybe these birds are a sign that things are calming down or that you have a chance to find your footing again. If they once belonged to your father, maybe he thinks it's the right time to try looking outward again." She tries for a small smile for him. "I don't know about cycles of life and death where you come from, but I've learned from people here in the Nexus that second chances come in many forms. Maybe this is yours."
