Steve's just trying to build a... bridge between them that a war refugee in one hell of a rough situation can feel reasonably safe on, and is using the commonalities he can find to do that.
He might actually be a little caught off guard (not in a bad way) if the other man starts seeing more of Steve in return.
Meanwhile: Priorities and one of those in 'build a bridge' is trust and that also means transparency, and answering questions. "All humans. Wanda and I considered 'enhanced'. She's got some mind stuff, I'm just harder to kill. Scott and Sam use equipment. Sam's got the mechanical wings. Scott changes size with a suit."
Simplified transparency though.
He... will take Zevlor inside, just as soon as he either doesn't have more questions or indicates readiness, or something in the circumstances makes him. He feels for this guy. He's getting whatever room Steve can give him.
