Geez, what was that look for? He was only concerned that Steve was going to drop on his floor, not that he minded. He had dealt with his friend's illnesses for years and knew a calm and level head was the way to get through them. However, something else seemed to be up by his perceptions, and he was determined to find out what. He hoped it was a girl; oh, he really wanted Steve crushing on someone.

"You looked like you tried to swallow a duck or something," he replied with a skeptical look. He took the nudge and pretended to look around like he was supposed to have felt something. He then look at Steve and pretended to startle. "I'm completely aware of your ability to take care of yourself." He reached out and grabbed Steve's upper arm, feeling it. "Hmm, yep, think I feel a muscle growing. You'll have anyone you take on the ropes in no time."
