[ At least, that's what he's come to believe. Then again, he's also ran laps around every open area of the ship in the last three months he's been there, so it's probably a little unfair to give that impression when she's only just gotten there. It's something he honestly can't believe, still. Looking at her, listening to her, being able to reach out and touch her... Steve curls his fingers and squeezes once to resist the urge, and his smile is soft, taking another step back to invite her out into the hall with him.
He lifts his wrist to show the band around it and then carefully offers his hand to her. Maybe it's strange to think he could hold onto her after all this time, but he would try. ] I can show you how that works too - if you want. It helps if you get lost. [ Which is bound to happen sooner or later, and Steve wants to give her every advantage to protect herself when he couldn't be there to save her. ]
That's easy for you to say, Captain. [He does have three months on her, not to mention a top-notch memory. She's good, but even she can't compete with that. Her lips curl as she says his title, before she steps out into the hall and closes the door behind her.
And then he offers his hand. Her heart skips a beat as she takes it without question, because she wants to hold onto him just as much as he to her.]
You have no idea how much I would love that. I've tried, obviously, but this is more complicated than anything Howard's made. [and she's really glad he offered, too. It saved her from having to put aside her pride and ask him herself.]
