Steve had been feeling better since Bucky had shown up, more himself and calmer. There was still a kind of..lingering darkness always on the edge of his consciousness but he was ignoring that now, he wouldn't acknowledge it and maybe it would go away. But no matter how he felt it still seemed sleep didn't come easy, at least not often. So he'd decided to go out and patrol the farm a bit, they'd been having trouble with...something eating crops at night and maybe if he was around he could scare it off.
What he hadn't expected was to hear quiet sobbing as he walked through the orchard. Slipping a little bit in to his Captain frame of mind, worried someone was hurt, he started running the rows, following the sound until he could see someone huddled at the base of a tree. He slow down a little bit so he wouldn't be rushing up and possibly scaring whoever it was but quickly recognized the woman sitting there, "AJ? Are you alright? What happened?" he asked softly, kneeling in the mud next to her.
