[ Steve doesn't intend to ever make Hux or anyone else stand between the two of them. He means to sort this out on his own, one way or another.
His gaze fixes on the shift in Hux's expression, there and gone before he can decide what it means. He nods. ]
She's a hard one to read. [ Worse than the Prince, in some ways. That man's a wall. Cathaway - she's a different sort of distant, a cold shiver down his spine. ] I guess she wanted our side of the story.
[ He figures she must've talked to more of them. Especially considering what happened to Parker... ]
[ Cathaway is a different sort of distant. More purposeful with how she keeps herself from them. Prince, of course, keeps his walls up. But his process is something Hux feels like is more habit than anything else.
No, he's fairly sure his conversation with Cathaway involved her distancing as a way to show him the dynamics of the nest. To try and twist his arm. ]
She wanted assistance, when I spoke to her. [ Or cooperation, more than he was willing to give right now. ] Her mind is everywhere until it isn't. I don't believe she's very forgiving to those who want to put up walls.
It sounded like even she doesn't know how far the rabbit hole goes. [ He's inclined to believe her. A shake of his head, a slight edge to his voice. ] I'm not looking to go much deeper myself.
[ Down into that abyss. He's silent for a second, eyebrows furrowed as he gets lost in that space, then shakes his head again. ] Anyway, thanks again.

Neither am I. We're not meant to know these things so closely. [ About each other. Everyone deserved peace of mind with their secrets. ]
Of course. [ And with that, he'll leave Steve be. ]
