[ Steve didn't know Parker all that well, only that the guy had been determined to go home more than anything.
His mouth snaps shut and he goes inward for a minute, verbally silent. Behind his young mental walls is a different story. The guardians' disappointment, had it been that way, wouldn't matter. He was the one that was there, he should have been able to stop Ren. Anger at his broodmate flares again, along with his own shared blame. But he doesn't wallow in either emotion. Steve's a well-oiled machine when it comes to using loss and defeat to move forward. It's part of how he's lived this long.
And, more than that, he doesn't want to see anyone else die either.
He shifts, finally breaking his silence: ]
He doesn't think he did anything wrong. [ Played it as protecting them, to a degree. A shake of his head. ] But he cares what you think.
[ It was only when Hux mentioned Cathaway that Ren stopped his chase. ]
