[Telling you there isn't gonna be a chance in all hell of getting over anything for Steve (even with forgetting this place) isn't Sam's job to do. But at that answer, that choice of words from Bucky, he has to huff out a sound that's more sigh than laugh, a combination of both. That's all right, you know -- he's heard a lot of loaded things in his own right, and the importance of this one isn't lost on Sam, but it certainly does carry its weight openly. Won't remember. Lord.]
I doubt he forgets you'd see through it so much as he probably [stalled for time, kept it buried because the alternative was unacceptable to try and explain without any good way to do it, because there is no good way to--] kept at it much as he could anyway. The guy's stubborn as anyone and then some.
[Shrugging a bit, Sam then fixes Bucky with a knowing (guess who also comes equipped with a bullshit radar), and rather unconvinced look.] Listen, man -- I'm not about to tell you what to think'd be for the best or not -- but that can't really be all that comforting of a thought. For anyone.
