a similar space with someone else does pique steve's curiosity, but he also realizes they have something a little more important at hand, and his focus stays there instead. geralt indicates the window and steve does chance another glance out, and that's all the confirmation he needs. they are moving away from this stuff, which...well, it doesn't make him feel better, necessarily, but it does give him direction. ]

[ he feels like that might be important - to know what it does, to know what waits for them if they slip up, not that steve has any plan to.
