Most of those names he knows, a couple he doesn't. Most of the ones he knows are from the network rather than meeting in person, and a couple of them are already people he'd rather avoid, but-- "Iris keeps bringing me a rope to tug on or a ball to throw. As a wolf." Just to make sure Steve knows he's not doing this with an old woman.

He's not sure what to do about the Misty situation, though. If she doesn't like Steve, will she be angry if she sees him spending time with Steve? He's not about to stop, but does that mean he should stop seeing Misty? What would she do if he avoided her? Ugh, there's so many ways that could go, and he doesn't know her well enough to confidently predict any particular outcome. Maybe he'll just wait and see. That's usually the safest course.

"Have you met Ellie. Or Zhao Yunlan." Because both of them seem to keep poking at him, so he ought to see what Steve has to say about them.
