Steve's eyebrow gets a leveled look in return. Yes, Cap, he does speak, even to strangers. He's a rebel like that.
"No," he answers the first with a roll of a shoulder in a maybe too-casual shrug. But he doesn't move from his spot. "I think it's smart." Leonard doesn't trust freely and easily, either, by any stretch of the word. He'd learned that lesson long ago, from a person who never actually cared as much as he should have.
"The immediate three of us that I am almost certain your friend will gravitate toward the most, the quickest, are a killer, a klepto, and a pyro." There's a beat and he cants his head. "If you weren't suspicious, you'd just be dumb. But...you also have puppies and living embodiments of sunshine people on this ship." Like Raymond. Annoying little labradoodle of hope that he always is.
Not that Leonard is exactly trying to sell Steve on leaving his buddy here. Personally, he isn't all that thrilled about it in the first place, but he isn't Captain, and for good reason.
