[Steve just nods - he's glad Sledge is going to take him up on the offer, honestly. And he's glad he can help out, even if it's in a small way. He knows he didn't have it as rough as a lot of other guys, but the times he did have it rough... a hot shower had pretty much sounded akin to heaven - and maybe just as elusive. Especially if there was something clean to put on after it.
So he's not surprised in the least when Sledge spends a while in there - he would have been more disappointed if he hadn't - so Steve's just sprawled on the couch with a book when Sledge reappears. He hasn't touched the gear or the weapons, but that's more out of respect for Sledge's belongings, and not because he cares that they're dirty. Likewise, he doesn't care about Sledge's uniform being dirty, either, but he's not sure how else to get that point across.
Either way, he sets the book down and stands up, nodding. It's nice to see the young man under the dirt and mud and blood, even if he does look worn thin.] That's fine. Whenever you get the chance, he's got other stuff to wear.
[He almost wants to offer to toss Sledge's uniform in with his own laundry, but that seems kind of patronizing, so he doesn't.] I know you don't need an escort to find your cabin, but if you want a hand. [He shrugs a little, and smiles. The offer's there, but Sledge can take it or leave it.] I promise, this place gets a little easier to handle, after some food and some sleep. A lot of things do.
[spam!!] I just saw the movie, but the weird filters kept distracting me XD
