The rate gets the smallest shift of a glance, when Steve does actually question it, standing among the shards Danny already stepped on and woke up, again. Whether he's trying to see that's just Danny being roundabout or if it's actually distancing. Doesn't like the idea he's playing one of their opinions off the other, or that he should believe one over the other.
Still it gets the flash of a look, before there's a rough roll of his shoulders back, out, stretching muscles rolling and popping, resettling himself with a absent sort of frown toward the sea, and Danny's hate of it, and Cath's loss of it. "As well as any sailor docked interminably, while waiting for their ship to be decommissioned."
And if that sounds a little pointed, and entirely applicable to himself, that's fine. That's good, even. It's still true. It's one of those things that will never stop being true as far as he's considered. It hasn't really in three years. It didn't entirely ever leave during missions abroad for years. Which is where SEALs were, just as much as the water. It just settles like a bruise a little further under. Taking special skill to hit just right.
Which Danny has always had a speciality for. "She says it's giving her a chance to see more of the island."
Alright. That one. Wasn't exactly true. She may have implied that about this whole situation more than hers with the Navy.
