She walked in, closing the door behind her when there was no answer from within the apartment-like room. It was possible that he wasn't here, she wouldn't doubt that he had gone out at night despite how foolish it would have been, but the sound of a light shuffling hit her ears and she turned to see him entering the room, drying a freshly sewn gash in his arm.
He was upset. If it wasn't the tone he used, it was the facial hair. Steve was a clean cut guy, for him to go a day without his usual manscaping was significant. Even if she didn't know that about him, however, she thought that anyone could have seen it in his eyes. She certainly could.
She wasn't sure how to answer the question. She could have lied, and told hi that she had no idea. That she saw it, and she was just as shocked as he was. She could have sold it too, it wouldn't have been the first time she had to lie to him, or at least withhold the truth. She liked to believe that they were two separate things, but her previous lies were work related, things that she was ordered upon. This was personal, and he didn't deserve that from her.
"I lived it." She answered honestly, looking him in the eyes before her gaze slowly dropped to his arm. "You're going out alone." She said it as if stating a fact, the expected judgement and annoyance missing from her voice. How could she possibly get on his case about something that she would most certainly have been doing herself?
"You're probably upset with me." She continued, chancing a step forward. Only one, in order to keep a proper distance. She wasn't sure just how upset he was, and although she didn't fear him, she did respect his personal space when she thought he needed it. "But when you sounded like you didn't experience it when we first got here, I wasn't sure if it was just me or..." She trailed off, her eyes moving back up to meet his, reading him. "I didn't know if we came from different worlds. If maybe you experienced things differently. ...I didn't want to expose you to it if it wasn't true in your own time, Steve."
