It wasn't such a strange concept, that someone might want to learn who Steve Rogers was outside of the confines of the mission. It was just that sometimes, even Steve didn't know the answer to that question. Where he fit into the world remained one big question mark a lot of the time. He had a place within SHIELD, but more and more it felt like he didn't belong there either. He couldn't always put his finger on why, but...
This might be a step in the right direction. Putting himself out there a little more wouldn't kill him, after all.
He nodded at Rumlow's last statement. He'd already seen how Rumlow supported him in the context of a mission, and now he wanted to do that outside of it too. If maybe in a less orthodox way than a simple friendship, but maybe it was time for Steve to branch out a little.
Steve turned to give the room another look, as if seeing it for the first time, and then headed over to grab his jacket from where he'd shrugged it off earlier. "I should probably head home, but this was... fun," he said, and when was the last time he'd called something fun and not been at least slightly sarcastic about it?
