To make it clear he gets to define himself. Maybe there's more to it, more nuance than he can see, but that... that much is enough that Thor thinks he's on the same page. He has spent his own entire life trying to live up to what his father expected him to be - warrior, king, god - only to be led to the realization that he is his own man, and need follow no other path than the one that he chooses to walk.
Steve has a chance for a fresh start, unburdened by his past, the expectations that others have placed on him. To escape the unhappiness and heartbreak of the last few years, and leave the figurehead of Captain America behind him, leaving only the man.
Thor nods once, slowly, following Blaze's gaze to the shrouded body. And yet, her Ghost's interjection brings a small measure of relief, putting this problem off for another day. Perhaps all the way until the day that Steve comes back to them, if that is his fate. They do not have to solve this all at once. His shoulders slump a little, and he lets the air out from his lungs. "Right. Of course."
