[ the walk is a daze, once again. normally perceptive - and hyper aware since first setting foot on the front - in the back of his mind, bucky's surprised to note that he can't remember a single thing about their journey to the house they're now standing in. how long did it take? no clue. how did they know to get here? did they ask someone? no idea. how many people did they pass on their way? he sure doesn't have the answer. losing time is not an experience he hoped to ever go through again. it was crucial, on zola's table, it was imperative to his survival that he step out of his body and find somewhere nicer to pass the time until it gave out. but this...this is something completely different. there's no imminent threat, no one's hurting him, and steve is by his side. steve, as he used to be. steve who needs him.
steve, who gave his life to end hydra's horrifying advantage, giving the allies their best chance to end the war.
he takes a breath when steve steps away, and tries to reorient himself to his surrounding. it seems comfortable enough, definitely better than anywhere he's stayed at in recent years. his feet guide him to the kitchen for a glass of water, then refills it and gets one for steve as well, tapping his shoulder once he follows him to explore the rooms. ]
Couldn't find any ice, but it's cool, at least. [ one glass for drinking, one for holding against those nasty looking bruises. taking care of steve is easier than dealing with whatever it is he's feeling. ]
