[Steve isn't necessarily put off when Stephen jerks away, but he doesn't try to touch him again. He knows he can run the guy down if he has to, but he'd rather not having him bolt in the first place. So he stays where he is, standing up when Stephen does the same.

What I don't know is what started it. [Said more to Stephen now.] Something must have started it. [Because he's with Lydia. He doesn't believe Stephen did this unprovoked, even if it doesn't make things right.]

And you did stop - he's not dead.

[So that's something.]
