He gives her a look, his eyes a little wider, a grin parting his lips, when she says she’s heard things. But when she tells him that he has charms? He chuckles a small laugh and shakes his head. No one’s ever told Steve Rogers that he’s charming before.
“You look …” Stunning, is the word he’s looking for, but even within the ease of their friendship, Steve has a hard time talking about this kind of thing. “Really great, tonight.” A regular Casanova, this one.
But when she seems to catch on to the fact that his mind had wandered, Steve’s focus is pulled back, and it stays there as he just shakes his head.
“I’m just keeping an eye on things.” Which, is true. He’s just not being very specific about what, exactly. But Steve’s also on duty tonight, so it shouldn’t be an odd thing to say. Plus, looking over at the bar isn’t going to help him anymore than it did last time, so slowly and deliberately, Steve takes her hand from his arm and passes it to his palm, and then guides them both into the right posture and stance for a dance.
