Last spark from the ashes

"You were in the army?" And again Steve's interest is piqued. "My best friend used to be too. Did they have you do a tour or just...you know. Local stuff? There was no way I'd ever have gotten in, though I did try when he enlisted."

He lets the topic slide right by when Bryn talks about theater and helping there. His smile regains some of the luster that was lost when talking about the military. Even if he'd been interested, it was a bittersweet memory.

"I don't mind going outside here and there but my asthma hates the pollen seasons. Otherwise..." Steve gives a slow nod here. "It's been nice. Different to home, but still nice."
