That problem with the job, as Danny so put it, is one of the things Steve likes about it.
If there was an option not to come in from the field, he wouldn't. Especially right now. Which he knows is bent. Because he sends his own men in all the time. Recommends them for R&R, and relief theraphy, and every other part of the process that the human mind needs after it's seen the horrors they do, every day, in and out, having to shut it down and push on. And he knows he's the same. Knows he's not anymore super human than the next guy on his team, even if he's the lead. But it's there all the same.
But it does get a half-glance when Danny goes on. Saying words Steve had been thinking only half a minute ago, himself. When he shouldn't be surprised, he pegged Danny for only having the job when he didn't have his daughter this morning, but he's surprised to hear Danny put it that way anyway. Even if the reasons they stay in the field are drastically different, Steve isn't filling his time waiting for anything, it's still catches him hearing it put that way.
Steve gave the man a long face, eyebrows raising, even as his mouth and jaw didn't go tight. "Pretty sure I still have 'em all."
Said with a drawn kind of blase something near blacked humor. About those arms and legs that Danny is talking about him needing to lose to get throw out of the game. Not that he's all that wrong either. Not that Steve needs to tell him that. Or really could explain anything surroundings those. When it's easier to take the shit and spin it, like he might anywhere else. "But the lack of one really only slows you down if you let it, which you know they don't really teach you guys here last I checked."
Steve'd done things with any number of broken bones (leg, arm, ribs, fingers) that civilians shouldn't even try thinking about.
