[All the laughter bled out of him. That was exactly what he didn't mean to imply! It had just been a passing thought in the first place! The last thing he wanted to do was hurt the man's feelings!]
No. I don't want you to be someone else. I was mostly just teasing Loki. That it might be easier to talk to an animal than a man is something I've thought about, but I don't expect you to do anything for me, certainly not be an animal. It was just . . . just a memory. And a little joke. If you really wanted to be an animal, I have a special spot for cats. Felines I mean. Not so much the dogs.
[Steve met the man's eyes, worry in his own. He didn't want Loki to change, it had just been a fun though, or well, he'd thought it was a cute idea.]
