"Hey now, it's really good. Don't knock it till you've tried it Verity." Steve is nothing if not just and fair, even in mid hug.

"I'll be good with just the chili, but Matt here might need some help." Steve rolls his eyes good naturedly, and gives Murdock a small push toward Verity. "I'll take mine and wander. I shouldn't...have you know." If he says intruded they'll insist he's not, but Steve knows better.

He is a Professional Third Wheel.
