[It is nice not to have to chase a moving target. It's also nice that the weather in here is pretty mild - really nice, because it can get a little easy to feel cooped up on the Barge, and sometimes even bad weather in the CES beats staring at the same four walls. But nice weather never hurt anybody.

Steve does have a sneaking suspicion, though, that Bucky's been here since this morning. Not that that's bad. It's just a thing. He's gotten lunch and another workout in - his normal run - but lucky for you, Bucky, he's also showered; now he's just in slacks and a t-shirt.

He was running, but he slows down so he can actually approach at a reasonable pace, once Bucky's in sight.]

Hey. Sorry, that just - seemed kind of silly, you know? [Just because he's used to talking to people over a phone or a computer doesn't mean he likes it as much as the alternative.] Besides, you thinking alone is kind of dangerous.

[He tries to poke fun, gently, because it just feels a little more normal. Even if he's not going to pass this opportunity up, since Bucky actually seems willing to talk - it's just that Steve feels pretty helpless, because he doesn't know how to talk in a way that's actually going to help. He's pretty sure he just proved that, beyond a doubt.] But they say two heads are better than one...

[They clearly never met Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers.]
