Rocket does know better. He would have been a bit more haphazard about where he placed them, but in lieu of having a hundred candles, the entire box will do. He grins at her handiwork and pulls the trigger on the lighter, waving the little flame around as if he needed it to get everybody's attention, before lighting each one in turn. "One Terran party torch, coming up."
"I suppose it could be worse," Thor says to Steve, as an aside. "He could have used an actual blowtorch."
Emboldened by the break from everyone else staring at him, Thor impulsively looks around at them again, the look on his face hopefully implying that they'd better not leave him to his own devices on this one, before he clears his throat and begins the traditional Midgardian birthday song. He hasn't had cause to sing in some time, and his voice is rougher than it once was, but this is for Steve and if ever there was a time to push past his discomfort, it's now. Celebrating that someone he cares about still lives, and can share the day with his friends.
