Tensing slightly when he noticed Tony reach for the sword, he forced back the whine that lingered in the back of his throat. 'This one' wasn't supposed to threaten him unless it was part of... something that Steve still didn't understand but knew could be part of whatever this was. "I told you that I wouldn't hunt you." Following was different. Something that Steve couldn't resist. "I didn't mean to make you feel shadowed."

It made him wonder how Tony saw him. As someone who waited for him to make a mistake so that he could kill him or did he see Steve as an ally?

A look of distaste crossed his features at the thought of eating the bat. Even if it hadn't been Tony's pet it wasn't something either wolf or human wanted to snack on. "Uh... Even if he wasn't a friend, I don't eat when I'm in wolf form and bats aren't uh... I think they'd disagree with me when I'm like this."

As he spoke, he realized how that could sound. "But I won't... even if I was starving I wouldn't... he's your friend so I couldn't." Why did he he have to stutter and sound like an idiot in front of Tony?

Ignoring his embarrassment, Steve tried to figure out how best to answer that question. Honestly, he didn't know why he was following. Curiosity wasn't a believable excuse and the real reason seemed too crazy to say aloud. 'The wolf in my head wants me to follow you and howl at the moon when I can't be around you' probably wouldn't get the best reaction. Especially if he did end up howling at the moon. "I - uh - I don't know why I'm following you. I know you're not going to hurt anyone who isn't dangerous. It's something else but I don't know what."
