Steve knows what Zerxus is doing, because it is something he would have done. Hell, it had been what he'd been trying to do, seconds ago.
He also doesn't have a single clue what to do with it directed back at him and he just... looks bewildered. Looks down at the hand wrapped around his and then back up to Zerxus.
How the fuck he manages to smile is a mystery, but he does and while it's strained it's not fake. "Okay. It isn't. We will be. More or less." More accurate? He is at least breathing a little more normally and got his head out of ... endless possible scenarios.
