Steve's actually wondering if this is supposed to be some new tactic for them to try on him, or if they're just so preoccupied that they are actually using him as a guard because they expect the tiny guy with pointed ears to be enough of a threat to rank a super soldier standing guard inside the cell.
Maybe it's both. Are they smart enough for that? Leverage over Steve, and the other guy lowering his guard enough for information?
"Maybe." He feels like he's got something of himself in him fighting for its life, especially in the sense that he actually has been here long enough to be afraid of them, even if he hasn't been 'broken' to their satisfaction.
He has absolutely no idea what's going on, or what the plan is. "Unless they're trying boredom as torture, they might actually hand over a book. How long have you been here?"
