[Steve's conscience really has nothing to do with it. As far as he's concerned, Victor has issued a threat, although that's counter-balanced by how hard he's trying to get Steve to leave. It makes Steve wonder why he's so set on that, why he needs to be left alone with a random brain sample of unknown origin.
Yeah, there's nothing fishy about this at all.
Maybe it has something to do with the past, given how Victor is waxing philosophical about it. Either way, Steve's mind is made up, that he's going to watch Victor for as long as he can to make sure he doesn't have some ill intent in mind for the rest of the people trapped here. He moves toward a rickety, rusted chair and takes a seat in it -- just a little surprised when it manages not to collapse under his weight.]
The fact that you're so eager to get me out of here only makes you look more suspicious.
[So no, he's not budging. Not just yet, anyway. He's let other people, like Hannibal, slip under his radar. That isn't going to happen again, and while the paranoia is feeding into all this, making Steve irrational where normally he would have probably taken the suggestion to leave (and fetched some food for Victor in the process), he isn't entirely aware of it.]
