[ It's a fair question, given how quiet it is by now, and Steve gives a small shrug of his shoulders. ]

Couldn't sleep, so I figured a walk might help.

[ Maybe most people wouldn't consider it a good idea to walk around such a populated city in the middle of the night, but Steve isn't most people. It's hard for much to faze him after growing up in Brooklyn, and it's not like he needs to worry about ending up in danger. He can handle himself.

After a pause, he flashes a brief smile. ] You've at least made it interesting.

( matt almost smiles at that. almost.

but, it's a good enough answer that he does nod, looking away, listening for anything else that might be amiss while they talk. )

That happen a lot? People not sleeping?

( he knows it happens to him plenty, at least. maybe he'll be seeing steve out here more often than not. )

[ Steve shrugs, not sure he could comment on the general sleeping habits of the people of this city. He could speak to the Summoned, sure, and how those nightmares have probably left a lasting mark on them all, but he still doesn't know if this stranger is one of them.

Which means he isn't inclined to share too much. ]

I couldn't speak for anyone else. But seeing how you and I aren't the only ones out here in the dead of night, that probably says something.

[ It's a big city. Surely there are at least a few others who are struggling to sleep at night. ]

Anyway, I think this has been enough excitement for one night. [ He nods to the stranger and starts to move back toward the alley's exit. ] Might as well see how I do now.

Good luck.

( it was probably better not to remain too long, talking to someone who could recognize him if matt wasn't careful. so, he doesn't try and stop steve. he just nods and turns, disappearing back into the darkness of the night. )
