"It's alright, I... I just..." The uncertainty is one of what to say, until he realises that the truth isn't such a bad thing. "It wasn't what I was expecting. I've never known anyone living in the middle of a war." Except for Harrowheart, but that was different somehow, he wasn't in the middle of a war. Steve had lived through one, but he wasn't going through it now. He smiles at her. "I'm glad you were rescued. I can't imagine what that must be like."
Apparently unaware of Adia's hesitation, he continues getting her a drink and leaving the door open so that they can continue talking. "I, uh, I used to use it to get to the top of cabinets and bookcases to read in peace. Practicing that meant a lot of falling and bruising," he explains with a sheepish smile as he hands her a glass of orange juice.
