[ he can't help but smile. it's not that common now - that someone would encourage hope. it's refreshing.

and nostalgic. ]

I suppose you're right, ma'am. There could be a silver lining to all of this in the long run.

[reminiscing]

[oh man don't get her started on nostalgia]

You just make the best with what you're given. Even if it's shit.

Lemons into lemonades, right? [ and what upstanding american citizen dosen't love lemonade... ]

[reminiscing]

Or Limoncello if you're feeling daring.

[lmao she's an upstanding alcoholic.]

[ he laughs a little sheepishly. ]

It wouldn't make much of a difference, sorry to say. [ he taps his chest. ] Fast metabolism.

[reminiscing]

[she smirks as she eyes that chest of his.

ugh what a flirt stop it sally.]

Damn shame, it woulda been fun getting tipsy with a fella like you.

[ another little laugh, this one more bashful than the last. oops, how does he girl again... ]

I didn't have much of a constitution for it before - [ before the whole super soldier bit ] - anyway, so I probably wouldn't have been as much fun as you think, ma'am.

[reminiscing]

I'm sure I could've helped you with that had I known you.

[WINK.

no stop it sally you're making him uncomfortable or something why do you do this.]

And it's Sally dear. No more of this ma'am business, I'm not that old.

[ steve's smile doesn't face, but the light in his eyes seems to dim a little. ]

Maybe. [ but he doesn't sound all that convinced. ] I wasn't exactly known for my popularity back then. [ she wouldn't have spared him two looks. ]

--Sally. Right, sorry, I didn't mean-- [ well. how do you explain that, technically, you're probably decades older than her anyway? ] I'm Steve.

[reminiscing]

Well we don't all start out popular.

[yeah she probably wouldn't have...]

No harm done. And I know, my mun's told me a bit about you. But it's always a pleasure.

--they have? [ steve shifts uncomfortably now. so then she knows who he'd been. not that he's particularly ashamed or anything, but--

well having the attention of pretty ladies is still a new deal for him, okay! ]

[reminiscing]

[dude you gotta werk it. sally would totally give him pointers if she knew.]

She has, yes.

Said we might get along right as rain, being from the same era 'n all. Not many of us costumed folk from the good old days left.

[ oh man. steve perks up like a little puppy at the sound of that. ]

--really? [ y-you mean you won't make weird references to things he knows nothing about...? ;; ]

[reminiscing]

Really.

[of course she wouldn't ;~;]

[ he lets out a little laugh. relieved. ] You have no idea how good that sounds.

[reminiscing]

Oh I think I do.

Bet you feel like a fish out of water around the rest of the folks here.

[ heaving a heavy sigh. ] Like an alien, some days.

[reminiscing]

Well, you're not alone. At least, around these parts you're not.

Muns have a nasty habit of plucking people out of their decade.

I hope you're faring a lot better than I am.
