Oh, completely. That's just not what I'd expect Steve to say, even then, but then, he's always pretty brutally (and obliviously!) honest...

And very much so. I spent that entire series wanting to slap him for doing the "But I can't tell ANYBODY because then they'd be in DANGER" even after all of his close friends get kidnapped, taken hostage, or nearly killed time after time after time because he doesn't tell them... *sigh* LOL
