[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.

( she knows what she's asking of him and that it's not easy. she just hopes that he trusts her enough to know that she won't go beserk over the slightest little thing. the two of them can catfight all the way, but as soon as bucky makes a move to actually hurt steve, she has to know. )

Thanks. ( that's a weight off her shoulders. ) Maybe it'll help him .. to have a friend right now.

[Would it help? He hopes so. He hopes that if Bucky spends more time with him it may jar some things loose. Make him remember the thousands of memories they share. But a part of him can't help but wonder if he's just a reminder of all the things Bucky has lost.]

I hope so.

( maybe he's a little bit of both. but natasha knows firsthand the experience of having a friend at the end of the world (or what seems like it), and back then, clint had been the only one to fight for her instead of against her. there had to be some value in that. she wanted to believe there was value in that. )

It's not my business, but .. Be careful, Steve. He might not still be the person you remember.

[No. Not the same person. Not exactly. With the experiences he has being the Winter Soldier, who could survive that and not be changed? But he knows that the man he knew was still in there somewhere.]

He could have killed me, Natasha. But he didn't. He's still in there, I know it.

You know best about that.

( if she's not convinced, she keeps it to herself. getting into the politics and problems of brainwashing someone wasn't something she wanted to relive with steve; the less he knew about her past, the better. she might understand what bucky was going through, but unless he asked for her help?

it wasn't her business. )

I'm just here to keep you alive.

[That gets him to smile.]

Is that what you're doing? If that's the case, I don't think you're getting paid enough for it.

( she rolls her eyes at him through the video, and then shrugs. )

I'm not. But don't worry, I'll send you the bill in a few years.

[He laughs.]

Sounds terrifying.

At this rate? Yeah, you might wanna start saving up, Rogers.

( see, look? she can joke. she can be fun. she's not always scary! )

I guess it's a good thing I live a simple life and don't spend much. [Except when it comes to food. When he had the serum his grocery bill was probably three times the size of a normal person's. Now he buys a lot of food mostly out of habit.]

( compared to her, he probably takes much better of himself. she eats like a bird for the most part, when she remembers to eat. )

Maybe I can knock a few zeros off the fee, if you're good.

[He mocks a hurt expression.]

I'm always good.

You don't really expect me to believe that look, do you?

( come on, she knows you better than that )
