Thor, admittedly, is thinking several things in response to this. Like: okay yes, but humans have to sleep sometimes, I know that for a fact. And: do your warriors seriously never carouse in company, and strengthen their comradeship thereby? And: how beset must your borders be, that if a warrior turns their thoughts from them for a moment they're derelict in their duty?
He doesn't say any of them. It's not for him to argue with another realm's warrior about how to do his duty on five minutes' acquaintance.
But he's kind of judging either Hotspur or his society's expectations, a little.
What he does do is slant a slightly ironic look at Hotspur, and says, "You have a strange way of courtesy, Harry Percy."
"But I'll own that our borders are secure right now." This has a certain weight of dimensions unsaid; as a matter of fact with the Bifrost down their border is much more impermeable than anyone would like, and it's causing all kinds of problems. "And my people live long."
