I'm just gonna put it out there right now that I died protecting this guy, so no funny business. [It's more conversational than a threat, but he figures it's only fair to put it out there. After all, he doesn't know why you're an inmate, and while Steve can totally handle himself in a fight, it's pretty apparent that the Protect Steve instincts have gone nowhere.]

But alright, Steve admits you don't deserve a second chance, I'll get you a cat. He doesn't, and you'll help give someone a second chance. Fair?
