If it meant saving the world, he'd go back without hesitation. But if it's healing himself, well, maybe things aren't that easy. His gaze softens with sympathy.]
[There's noticeable relief in his expression when Steve doesn't press any further. He's worked so hard to repair things with Tony and the rest of his teammates, to be in a good place again, that he doesn't want to linger on what awaits for him back home.
Of course he would return if his world needed him. He just hopes that it can get by without him for awhile longer.]
Talking to you. [He grins.] Was thinking about heading to the gym later. Why?
