[Because, Kal, you're dealing with a murder machine not accustomed to being rewarded for giving a sitrep, let alone with tasty goodies, let alone with tasty goodies two whole weeks after the fact. Soldat is feeling unbalanced, suspicious, and obscurely guilty, like they got a reward they absolutely did not deserve.

Also, you remind them of Captain America, right down to the dumbass name. Doesn't help matters.

The look Kal gets is somewhere between incredulous and uncertain.]

I will never turn down food. Especially not cupcakes. C'mon, pal, I'm not crazy. Just nobody makes cupcakes for a sitrep.
