No.
[ Direct answers for direct questions. Alva, for his part, takes a seat for himself. There's a specimen slide on the counter by the centrifuges, a few test tubes prepped for DNA extraction. The logical side to Alva is telling him it's better to apologize than ask for permission, for this, but he still believes in the Hippocratic oath.
Alva still has his dreams, poisoned as they may have become after everything he's been through. He has to tell Steve. ]
I— Hm. I'm not asking you for permission, but you're— I assume you're close. He's your friend, and you don't seem the type to trust right off the bat.
I'd like to test his DNA. I'm going to ask him, at some point. Would this concern you, if I did?

Still doesn't mean you can't get stuck. Maybe you should come down and prove me wrong. [ He debates whether or not to do it, and then, follows up with: ] :-)
[ Because it's nice to tease someone when they're clearly amused by it, if that laugh is anything to go by, and it's also nice not to have everything be so dreary and all-consuming in its intensity when it doesn't have to be. ]

whatever, you're more likely to get stuck up here than me with those stupid huge shoulders and being tree kinds of tall
[ and with that damn little smiley, andyr huffs, and pushes the grate open, popping himself down just enough to hang his torso upside down from the vent. ]
I bet a lot of people think you're just being an old person trying to be hip when you pull that shit, huh?

Who says something has to be going on? Maybe I'm just taking an active interest in the status of our national treasures.
[ Translation: they've popped into a shitshow of a universe, a bunch of people got enslaved and he was concerned, there's a double of him running around, and just - listen, shut the hell up, okay. ]

I'm fine, Tony. [ It's sort of snapped in a way he immediately feels guilty for, backtracking just as quickly and trying to recover ground he's unintentionally lost. Concern is something he shouldn't take for granted, especially not with their Current Situation. ] Sorry. [ He rubs at the back of his neck. There is a lot going on; he can't deny that. ]
Things have been worse. Have you seen our new friends yet?

[It's just a short jaunt down the hall, fortunately. Steve being here is definitely one of the reasons she chose to stay on Mero deck when she got her own room.
As always, when something is pressing, she's straight to the point:]

[She can't point to one specific thing as the item that's unsettling her, but the entire picture she's getting is Off.]

It means you don't know the situation on the ship. We can still stand up against them, and I'll be next to you doing it. But we have to draw the line on what we can and cannot do for those reasons.
[ Honestly, he can't believe he's saying this. Still, he'd rather not see anyone left behind for things they could have prevented. ]
