[Bucky shoots the rainbow a charming grin. The effect is ruined a bit by the healing black eye and the cut on his cheek but hey, it works. (Someone had a run in with the shabti guards. Not fun. He doesn’t recommend it.)]

So I’m guessin’ the giant stone things are a new thing? No one ever mentioned ‘em before, just guards and a dragon.

[Also he’s pretty sure they look kinda like those Pharaoh guys he saw in the museum once but he’s not sure]

Just sayin’, that’s something you’d want to mention to a fella before he gets here. Bucky Barnes, at your service.

[He gives a sort of cocky, lazy salute, still grinning. The grin continues as he asks his next question, but he’s clearly a bit worried]

Anyone here seen a scrawny sixteen-year-old, by the way? Shorter’n me, weighs about a hundred pounds soaking wet, probably doin’ something stupid or drawing? He looks like he’s going to kick it if you look at him wrong. His name is Steve—if anyone knows where I can find him or knows where he is, tell him Bucky got outta that damn hotel and is looking for him.

Good enough.

[And another hug]

Hey, you hear about what they've got for asthma now? It ain't an emotional thing anymore, they've got real medicine for it.

[thestarspangledman]

No! Can we get our hands on some?

[wintersergeant]

[Bucky grins and pulls an inhaler outta his pocket]

Soon as you said you were headin' over, I grabbed one from the medicine cabinet in the cabin.

[thestarspangledman]

You're the best, pal.

[wintersergeant]

Gotta look out for my best friend, don't I? I knew kid when I got out who had to use this, think I still remember how it's done.

[thestarspangledman]

Great, so you can show me.

[wintersergeant]

Now or when you need it?

[thestarspangledman]

...Now, when I need it it might be too hectic to teach.

[wintersergeant]

Good point. Right, so.

[Bucky proceeds to demonstrate (a little hestitantly) how to use the inhaler to Steve]

S'pposed to clear up whatever's makin' you cough.

[thestarspangledman]

[And he looks slightly dumbfounded, at the very idea, but he's certain to note exactly how Bucky uses that. It could end up saving his life sooner or later, who knows.]

That's amazing.

[wintersergeant]

They've got medicine for pretty much everythin' nowadays, Steve, and if they can't use medicine they've got a machine or somethin'--little tiny ones to help you hear, everything.

[thestarspangledman]

[That's a bit of an impressed whistle.] Phillips didn't tell me about all that stuff.

[wintersergeant]

He was probably preoccupied, carryin' you to camp.

[thestarspangledman]

Hey, I walked part of the way.

[wintersergeant]

[Bucky just gives Steve a Look. He has no doubt that he did.

He also has no doubt it was only a small part.]

[thestarspangledman]

[And he's giving Bucky a stubborn look right back]
