[ or they can not discuss it at all. that is also an option. because steve fits a little too heavily into that category of people who are pretty okay with not talking about this at all. which is to say: geralt will get to bring it up, and give steve the option to talk about geralt's stuff too. like now, how steve does notice something about geralt shifting. or perhaps not shifting, but tensing, growing tighter, right as steve puts the pieces together.
he doesn't blame him - steve's not exactly been happy that all his secrets have sort of just been laid out for everyone to see. doesn't love the fact that eddie just showed up down in whatever russian basement apparently created itself down there. that's probably the same tension geralt is feeling now, right? like a part of him is just on display for whatever shmuck shows up. ]
Is the other part your keep thing? [ at least he didn't call it a castle.
still, he watches as geralt moves to a door with a rusted lock and tug, watches as the door does not budge, and feels himself sigh. of course it won't open. why would anything be easy?
except that geralt tells him to do it, and steve kind of freezes. ] What? Me? [ and okay, maybe he already knows the answer he's going to get here, because steve is walking closer to the door. hesitates only a second before he puts his hands on it and thinks what the hell before giving it a jerk himself, expecting it not to budge in the slightest. ]
