"Yeah, man, table's good. Gimme a sec and I'll join you."
He cooks his own steak for just a little bit longer before he heads over. Sam mulls over his steak for a moment, considering how he wants to word his reply to the rest of that - and he's knows when he looks back up at Steve, his smile is soft and affectionate, but he can't do much about that.
"You're a good guy, Steve. There aren't a lot of people who think that way, you know? Trying to make sure things are equal, looking for what they got to give another person - and trust me, I'm right there with you. There's a reason I didn't have anyone to leave behind when I went with you. But sometimes it flips the other way, when you're so focused on what the world needs outta you that you don't think about what you need. What you want."
There's the briefest pause as Sam wrinkles his nose. "That was a hell of a long way of saying you don't gotta worry about that with me, man, you give plenty. We're balanced."
