[ Distract Sam? Yeah, it was easier said than done, but Steve now understands why Jesper had come to him specifically. The fact is that if anyone would be able to pull that off, it's him, though he'll need to chew over the best way to go about it. ]

Sure, I should be able to come up with something...

[ He can't help but smile at how seriously Jesper is taking this, referring to it as a mission and admitting that he even got Mag involved. Not to mention he's got a whole team ready to swoop in and get to work once Sam's out of the way.

But then his smile shifts from something amused to more genuine and grateful, his face softening. ]

It's good of you to go out of your way to do this. You're right that it wouldn't work any other way except for just doing it when he's not around to say no. And... I guess I owe you some thanks too, since I'll be benefiting also.

[ Steve would have had a hard time allowing an upgrade of his space if it wasn't more about what good it would do for Sam. They just happen to be roommates.

oh my god they were roommates ]
