"Knowing you, you'd also worry for others who would get you stuff via wishing, because what might it be taking from them besides shards as well." It wasn't really a question, though Loki didn't know that with 100% certainty. He was sure he was right though.
"You're right to be cautious, but you also can't let that cautiousness keep you from doing what you need to. There is still much we do not know about this place. But I believe you can wish on the crystal. I'm not sure how to fully explain, at least over dinner, why I am saying that. It has to do with my theories on how everything works, what the shards are, so on."
A small hand wave to indicate the 'so on'.
"When I first arrived, I was suspicious too. But Alice--pending Gamora's approval--invited me to live with her at her cottage. She and Gamora already had basic utilities though, so I couldn't test the crystal that way. Nor did I want to test it by wishing for something I valued highly. So, with Winter coming, I wished for an upgrade to the cottage we lived in. A proper hearth and fireplace. It was a practical test."

Besides being a few other things.
