Bucky barked a laugh. "Now you just want me to." Since she did probably know he'd rise to that kind of bait. Bucky peered at her and then pointed the tip of his fork. "This you trying to get me to a dentist?" he asked suspiciously. "Because I'll just let them fall out first." Probably not, but only because they'd make him fix it before it got to that point.
Bucky kept curling his arm in to gently pet beneath Moo's little chin. She seemed more to be tolerating it than asking for it, at the moment - breakfast had more of her attention - but she didn't make any valiant attempt to get away from him, either. Bucky was rapidly becoming her territory, and he was just letting her do whatever she wanted, for the most part.
"I rate second place, huh?" Bucky asked, half smiling. "Beat out Stark, even? Thanks for that," he teased. Since that wasn't hard to do with Stark. Tony rubbed her wrong about half the time, as far as Bucky could tell. "It probably helps that you're not being that picky - since one of them only does Shepherd's Pie and the only one's only got breakfast. Maybe I should see if they want to make me go to some fancy restaurant opening and try to get the chef to teach me something else to make." Except it'd probably be fussy Capitol-trendy food then, and Bucky had no interest in learning how to make that. The Capitol had great food - but they ran in trends like everything else, and hot new restaurants might be nothing but seaweed-based dishes or nothing but orange food or who the fuck knows what else.
Peggy probably could have come out more, to see Steve, if not for the mess they'd just gotten in. Bucky could even have helped and helped cover by having her come see him, so people didn't catch on that it was mostly Steve she was visiting. Bucky felt a renewed little pang of guilt, but didn't bother apologizing again - he'd already done it. She didn't need him saying it again, it wouldn't be doing her any good, it'd just be because he felt shitty.
Moo squirmed, and Bucky eyed her, but then let her gently down to the floor so she could scamper back over to investigate Peggy again.
