Entry tags:
open; out and about.
Characters: Bucky Barnes and open
Location: Around - outside the city included. State if you have preference!
Situation: Bucky is out and about, now that he's got a lot less excuse to be reclusive...
Warnings/Rating: None for now.
A/N: Prose and actionspam both welcome.
Bucky was... well. One word he couldn't quite process in conjunction with 'dead' was 'happy,' but for all intents and purposes... all right. Maybe not happy, but the brooding, the feeling of doom and despair that he'd had to struggle against during the first weeks after he showed up had greatly receded. He was brighter, lighter, and found himself with a lot more time - a lot more genuine willingness, he guessed - to be out and about.
Of course, he wasn't crowding his friends. They hung out, as they tended to, but this place... (and Peggy) required that they do some work, and some exploring, on his own.
Bucky kept up with the lessons with Rikki, and the occasional patrol with her; also kept his own schedule and routes across the rooftops. And, sometimes, just walking the streets, trying to blend as much as a non-shapeshifter could. Sometimes, being quiet and unobtrusive (or charming) worked well enough, to get information.
And he even ventured outside the city (the last couple of years had cured a lot of his reluctance to visit the countryside), to explore the whole of the surface that was available to him. He hadn't quite managed to save enough to buy a vehicle, but he did rent a sturdy bike. He thought it suited him.
Anytime, anywhere, he stopped to talk with people, or to help them, or to just ask questions or lend a hand.
He was - not completely gone. Steve was here - even more, Steve seemed... happy. That was plenty good enough for Bucky.

What I mean is that most of the people I know are clients of mine. Few are friends, and less have been lovers.
[Work, work, work, that's her life and she enjoys it.]
But I think I like Elle as well.

I'll... try to do that. Both of... those. Well, I mean, I'll try to do them well.
no subject
I think I know you well enough by this point to say that you do admirably as a friend.
[The rest remains to be seen though Favrielle doesn't think she has any cause not to be optimistic. He'll be enthusiastic and it goes a long way.]
no subject
Then I try to keep it up.
So. [Since they do have some walk, yet, and silence isn't necessary.] I'm clearly learning a lot, especially tonight, but what have you seen or heard this far that's made you the most curious?
