[Loki is here, and Steve can't do anything about that. All he can do is try to convince Loki that it's worthwhile cooperating instead of being enemies, because Steve has enough of those, frankly. If he decides to try to enslave everyone, Steve is sure a lot of people will join together to stop him.]

Fine. No one is forced to help to get home, or even to leave. Once we find a way to escape, no one is going to drag you back home, and if you're dead, then I guess I can see why you're not that motivated to go back. [He's not going to offer to send him somewhere else. Because he will not inflict Loki on any other universe] But if you change your mind, once you've settled in, contact me.

But I mean it about not hurting anyone.
