"After what you did to me in Cleveland, I'll believe anything."
Sam's still showing trust in him. Does that mean Steve managed to say goodbye with minimal pain? Or does it mean that he hurt Sam and Sam's just the kind of person who always manages his reactions, never gets mad if he can see a reason for the other person hurting him? Maybe there's just been so much other crap going on that Sam needs to put it aside for now.
Maybe more than one of the above.
"Almost," he agrees easily, reaching out to grip Sam's shoulder for a moment. "Whew. That... that makes sense. I'll look forward to seeing him again. I woke up in the same room as Natasha. Should let you know that, in case you haven't run into her."
He nods. "You lead the way, I'll follow."
He can deal with not training right now. Talking to Sam, and most importantly listening to Sam, will deal with his general antsiness. A year. All right. A year is. Manageable.
