[His voice sounds crisp and business-like, no hint of the sadness that obviously should be there. He's trying hard to cover it up, though, and so, he'll keep this brief:]

I think Bucky Barnes has left the Barge. Can't find him in his quarters, can't reach him on the comms. I'd appreciate another verification, though.

I haven't seen him. [She doesn't sound quite so flippant, just now.]

I'll keep an eye out. [But she can't stand false comfort, and even a vague offer of it leaves a bitter taste.] ...I'm sorry.

[thestarspangledman]

It's appreciated, ma'am. Thank you. [He'll be alright. He just needs to go punch things for a while.]

[She nods, and is quiet a moment. Then she smiles slyly] You wanna take over my inmate chores to blow off steam, I'll let you.

[thestarspangledman]

Thanks for the offer, ma'am, but I'm pretty sure Peggy wouldn't be happy if she found out about that.

Private;

[silvestris]

And then you rub her feet and you're back in her good graces.

[thestarspangledman]

I'd like to work a bit harder to please her than that, I think.

Private;

[silvestris]

Ohhh. An overachiever. Is that something we can train into other men, or are you one of a kind?

Private;

[thestarspangledman]

Uh, I'm not sure, ma'am. I don't think people would like to be trained, too much.

[silvestris]

Better to let them lord over and slap around their mouthy little wives? Come on, they may not like it but they could really use it.

Private;

[thestarspangledman]

Well, no. Maybe 'taught' is a better word, I guess.

Private;

[silvestris]

If it gets the job done, honey, you can call it whatever you want.

Private;

[thestarspangledman]

I guess so.
