[ Sorry, Steve. Even the people Kevin trusts have let him down plenty of times. He's gotten used to the idea that people are going to screw him over, no matter their intentions.
Once the flare of irritation passes, he can realize he's being a dick. He thinks he's earned the right to be a dick, but he's also aware that that's not the best way to conduct himself. He sighs heavily, looking away, and then back at Steve. ]
I'm fine. [ He's been living so long at the about-to-keel-over state that that's not too inaccurate. ] I just need to know if this place is -- if I'm in danger here. If I should find someplace to hide.
