[It takes at least an hour for Thor to reply to this. Text is a terrible format for him, leaving aside all the timeline issues that compound on it. At the same time he doesn't want to give a rash response.
Honestly he really wants a drink before he does this but manages to shove the impulse down.]
you're right about the timelines. i'm even further than i was when we last spoke. i don't know that any damage can truly be done, if i have already lived through the time you haven't yet returned to.
if you want to stay, you should. it will not change what i have already seen.
and if you want to know what that future is, i will tell you.
[And half the reason he'd chosen text in the first place was because he wasn't sure he could handle an in-person conversation about this with Thor. Not yet. Either way, there's a slight delay before his response.
It's worrying to him that both Thor and Natasha have told him that what has happened will not change. Then again, how could their lived past change, unless they're all in separate timelines to begin with?]
Thank you.
If my future at home would consist of more grief than happiness, I do not believe the details would be necessary. I trust your judgment on this matter.

May I ask if you have made a decision?

You have been a good friend to me, Thor. I wish you happiness, whatever your choice may be.

[And then Vision died, so.]
you deserve the same.
