Steve's as good with that as a starting place as anything else, nodding even as he's walking. Even if Danny does unexpectedly veer into suddenly talking about his daughter, again, and Steve can note the way it makes his voice change again. It wraps itself in this almost unknowing, and unrecognized, warmth. Just for a second, while he's gesturing to the place in front of them.
There's almost a second where he tries to see it. How anyone else must. Without a relative down in the deep. Without a childhood full of events out here, paying homage to that memory, respect to a legacy, planning to grow up and do it justice. Someone who was just young, just seeing it as some historical place. He can't really. He can't without losing the meaning, and he can't do that any more than he can really like at all that its empty. Half like it's forgotten, half like maybe its only remembered by children who like historical things.
He's walking quickly, even though he's not trying to outpace Danny this time. Direct, but it's actually comparable.
"If not, we can ask for his personnel file. Find where he is now." Skipped step up the sidewalk and continuing straight on.
