Steve shakes his head at the question about Wanda. No, that magic is something that she achieved back home, and even "magic" feels like a pretty basic way of putting it. It's not really his story to tell, so he leaves it at that for now.

Especially as Garrus moves on to describe Shepard in his own words. Again, the affection is there, but it's also admiration, respect, even awe. Steve knows people like that — so many of his own teammates are the exact same.

He smiles, something more genuine than his previous teasing one, at that final statement.

"You're right," he admits. It's what he tries to do for Sam, if he's honest, and he knows that Sam always wants to do the same in return. "And I'm sure that you do, every day. The fact that you're both here together, that must count for a lot too." He can't imagine what it's like for those Summoned who are stuck here without a single familiar face from home. It can't be easy.
