Steve has been noticing that Dave's off lately, more reclusive, which is rather out of the ordinary for him. Being soon after the arena, it would be easy to assume it had to do with that - rough arenas happen, so did losing people who don't come back (that one Steve knows well), but Steve keeps a closer eye on the boy than that. No, he's seen Punchy and Dave hang out from time to time and who didn't see their tragic moment in the Children's Arena.
He had an notion that the recent murder and Dave's reclusiveness were related.
So, Steve's almost surprised to see Dave in the kitchen. For a long moment, he just silently watches the boy tinker with his glasses, debating giving the boy space or approaching him. It's not a long debate as Steve moves to Dave's side, taking the apple juice and pouring the boy a glass.
"Fixing or tuning up?" He grabs the chair besides Dave, pulling it out and away to the side - giving Dave space while still close by - and sits.
