The coffee is a blessed treat and one Steve thanks Runa for sincerely. It will be long cold before he's finished it, saving it for when his throat rasps for all the talking he's doing. He won't let up on the constant rainfall of stories and anecdotes whenever Viatorus seems to need them. His fear is near-palpable and Steve does as best as he can to be present and soothing.

When Isidor comes in Steve swallows down the last cold bit of his coffee and slowly takes a step back until he's out of Viatorus' line of sight and walks over to the elder Durant. He notes her drop in tone and instead of speaking up shakes his head ever so slightly.

He hasn't. Not a wink.
