Re: Bucky (MCU) / Steve (AVAC)
How was he? He shrugged. Steve was still trying to figure that out. Last he'd checked, Jan was gone. That was...unsettling. Perhaps, for a moment, it flashed on his face. But if in his short time here had taught him anything, people came and went at random. He just hoped that when they went -- they went back home. Because the thought of something awful happening would be too much to bear, so he chose to be optimistic. "I'm okay," he said as he forced his expression to shift, "figured a distraction was in order." He glanced at a few of the items before them on the table, fingers brushing up against some of them to feel the texture. "And I hadn't yet slipped through a door yet."
"How about you?" he asked as he picked up a sphere object--blue and white. Interesting. He shook it and tried to listen to see if there was anything inside. He set it back down before focusing on... His friend? Could he call him that? He hesitated. "I've been thinking about you," he admitted. "Saw you storm out the last time we saw each other. I was going to follow you out and see if you were okay, but I wasn't sure if that was my place." He was, after all, not his Bucky. He figured maybe the older Steve would do that. "Plus, if you're anything like the Bucky in my universe, sometimes you need a bit of time to think."
His eyes widened, though, as overhead a pair of giant butterflies or at least butterfly type creatures flew near them, swirling around each other. He reached over to touch Bucky's arm and motioned toward it. "This place is..." He laughed. "I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Kind of amazing, right?"
