Though he wasn’t cold, Steve did care about his own shame seeing as how he didn’t quite know where he was or who might be in the area. His mother taught him modesty, and while he was still a bit all-around cloudy on the immediate details surrounding him, it was in his best interest to cover up. And to do so politely.
“Thanks, pal.” Steve was aware that he hasn’t been answered and aware that masked people tended to be more often on the enemy’s side of the war. He was slow to sit up, covering himself across his lap with the coat.
His eyes adjusted slowly to the light and he scanned the room quickly. Old. Plaster was starting to disintegrate noticeably. This place looked like it never used to be much, even when people used it, and now it seemed no one had used it for a long time.
“Have to ask again,” Steve said, more cautiously. “Who are you and who do you report to?” He could figure out the where after the why, and after every breath hurt. It might take a bit to finish healing and he had to be on good condition to fight or flee.
