[Steve's voice sounds clear and well rehearsed as he speaks into his bracelet, as if he had actually planned the speech before hand to avoid stumbling on his words. Which...he'll never admit to.]

This may sound strange, but I was wondering if anyone is at all skilled in sewing. I have something that needs patching up, but the damage is more than I'm able to fix myself. I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out. I'm willing to pay for the work, of course.

[This is a task he's been putting off, but as things move closer and closer to total warfare, he figures now is as good a time as any to have his uniform patched up.]

...If anyone has any tips on getting out blood stains, that would help a lot as well.

[For a second, she looks like she's about to laugh. It's so fucking out there, so over the top, but the bloodstains make it anything but funny. The smile dies before she can do much else with it.]

... so, what got you? That's a whole lot of blood.

[He's not surprised in the least when it looks like she might laugh. He'd thought it was a joke back when he'd first been stuck with the name while selling war bonds.]

It's...a long story.

... that's all you need to say.

[She holds up a hand, shakes her head.]

Gotcha.

I -- try the vinegar thing. I hope it works.

[He's relieved he doesn't have to say anymore.]

I will. Thank you.

[Ellie smiles back, instinctively understanding. If there's anything that's familiar, it's that unspoken rule of letting people keep things to themselves.]

I'm Ellie.

It's nice to meet you, Ellie. I'm Steve.
