To be honest, Steve was awful at keeping in touch with people back home lately, so it certainly wasn't Jonathan's fault that he'd flaked out on him.
'It's good that you're getting out there though, man. I was worried that you'd turn all hermit on me', Steve joked. It was probably a bit cruel to say, but back home in seemed like Jonathan liked his own company. There was nothing wrong with that, though! 'Maybe I'm just projecting. I should've checked on you sooner. Sorry about that.'
