[ The joke is a relief, honestly, especially since he reads it as one and even lets out a short laugh to himself. That teasing is something familiar enough like nothing's changed even if he's aware on some level it likely has - not for Steve necessarily since he won't assume, but for himself. ]
You can say that again. And I'm alright enough, I think, considering... everything.
[ Speaking of tempting: it's entirely tempting to just leave that right there, like that really encompasses Everything and Steve totally wouldn't have more questions. His past self would have without a second thought. But that's not who he is anymore; on top of that, he's pretty sure that's what his supposed godly self would have done which is all the more reason to not. ]
Or so I hope since I think I might still need more time for a lot of it even if I've been admittedly thinking too hard about all of it. It probably goes without saying that who I became wasn't who I'd like to be in this life or any other one.
