Steve eats. He eats an astonishing amount of food (at least for a human), without a single sign that maybe his sense of smell and taste are getting cross-wired, much less indication that he'd so much as heard 'poisoned or cursed' being mentioned as possibilities.

Then he takes the time Zerxus is gone to get his suit stuck in the back of Zerxus wardrobe (just the suit; gloves and shield stay out). He browses through the wardrobe since he's apparently going to be dressing himself out of it for the foreseeable future.

He does not otherwise get nosy, but instead just settles into one of those armchairs in the room with Zerxus' armor stand. He spends the rest of the time Zerxus is gone 'asleep', in the exact way he slept in the middle of a world war two battle field. Cycling between barely dozing to brief periods of deeper sleep that he rises back out of to the light doze, over and over again.

He doesn't startle when Zerxus is back in the room with him. His eyes open, immediately clear and alert. Stretches as he stands and walks straight to Zerxus. "Gauntlets off." His voice however reflects that he was at least asleep, in being a little husky and more slowed down than it has been thus far.
