No affection, and recognition only by the way of knowing that Steve had been his last mission, a mission that was now, by and large, defunct.

"Shouldn't have left you alone." It wasn't a threat, just an observation, and was followed by: "You get in trouble without someone watching your six." The statement was offhanded, so matter of fact that it even caught him by surprise and his brow creased a little, easing back from the other man.

It wasn't a step away as such, just a shifting of his weight, ready to bolt again, shaking his head just once, like a horse trying to shake off a stinging fly, "I should go. Shouldn't have come here." He wasn't entirely sure why he had, either, except that he knew Steve was the one with the answers he needed, answers that he had no way of getting without talking to Steve.
