[Stefan imagines that he would've reacted the same way, had someone told him that his brother - or hell, maybe Caroline - had been part of the Fleet. That they'd left broadcasts on the network for everyone to witness.
He accepts his phone quietly, with newfound reverence. He can't imagine it must've been easy to watch.]
It's not ridiculous at all. [Stefan shakes his head, though his smile softens considerably.] You love these people, and when you love them, you'll do anything to make sure they're safe.
I uh, I used to live with a superhero myself. It wasn't easy, waiting and wondering if he'd come back safe and sound, but...
[He pauses,] Because you're there? I think it's easier for Peggy or Steve to rest easy at night.

[He chuckles, amused.]
I hope that's the case. I always worry there'll be a time I'm not there when needed.
I can think of nothing worse than losing someone because you were just out of reach [He shakes his head.] But — I think... I'm thinking a little too highly of myself, really. Miss Carter will be alright. She has people far more qualified than me to help her.
[He's no superhero, or a Steve Rogers.]
... They can't make a decent souffle, though.

Honestly, I can't think of anyone more qualified than you.
[Every superhero needs someone to support them from the sidelines. This, Stefan knows well. He's lost count of how often he mended clothes or packed lunches or kept his Phantom safe - and that was all in a big brother capacity, rather than being an actual legal guardian.]
[Teasingly:] Especially if you can make souffle. Were you holding out on me, Mr. Jarvis?

[He smiles a bit, brightened by Stefan's words.]
Not intentionally, my apologies.
[But he appreciates what he's said; it gives him some hope, that he's doing something right. He still doesn't fancy himself in the same league as a hero or super soldier, but it's... something. He can provide nourishment, and that is something. It certainly is.]
Finding the right ingredients here takes a little too much time, if you ask me.
