[ Steve is quiet as Arthur rants, just watching him pace. It's true — all of this. It all comes back to the fucking Captain, and what can they do to stop him? Nothing. It's always nothing.

The name is actually familiar, for other reasons, but he's careful not to let that slip. ]

[ It means VERY BAD THINGS and he already knows this. ]
