It takes Thane a moment to ground himself in the conversation. Magic being spoken about so casually, as if something injected into every day life, threw him just a bit. And that's a difficult thing to accomplish.

"Humans have a lot to prove. I suppose it's fitting." He has respect for humanity, though. They've proven themselves to be resilient in the face of danger...possible extinction, even. And he had the privilege of knowing one of the most resilient humans in the Milky way.

He doesn't have to follow Loki's gaze to know where he was looking. Or rather, that he was looking at the exact spot Thane had been meticulously eyeing mere moments ago. A very keen observation.

"I don't believe I'm the most subtle looking person in this building." It's a jest, of course. He knows what Loki is referring to. The man obviously noticed his attentive nature.
