Steve became genuinely confused. What was with that glare? He just gave the only plausible response to that question...barring something absolutely inexplicable, of course. Pregnancy tests do detect testicular cancer, more often than not! But, AGAIN, he had to let it slide. Alderman had him by the balls, so the old fool could think whatever the hell he wanted.
More importantly, Alderman...actually offered some silverware and plates, and even dish towels. Damn. He could set up his room to be a little more convenient. Steve was a little dumbstruck. "This is...really nice of you. Thank you." Feeling awkward, he took the box from the landlord's arms and felt their fingers brush. Ugh, awkward. "Oh, sorry!" He had warm hands, so it wasn't greasy or unpleasant or anything. But he hoped his landlord didn't think anything of it.
