I'm not doubting you ma'am. It's just you don't have the best record for these sorts of things. The last time you managed to keep someone around was, well, never. I don't see why I'd be any different.

Just don't blame me when you get that silly song in your head every time you log in.

If it's the song I'm thinking of, it is rather catchy.

[overdosing]

Silly song? How silly?

[heedthecall]

[He's not surprised to see her exactly, he knew logically it could happen. It still takes him a few moments to reply.]

I may have heard it a few too many times.

[debts]

[ Natasha's not smiling exactly, but she is joking in that mild way she does, humming the first couple bars underneath her breath.

It's a catchy tune, and all. ]

[heedthecall]

Not as bad as I made it sound. Probably.

[heedthecall]

I probably shouldn't be surprised you know it.

[He's still adjusting to the whole 'living legend' deal. This is actually easier than the trading cards.

[therightpartner]

[Every time Peggy thinks she's used to seeing him... It hasn't quite gotten easier, but grief is more wistful now that she knows what he'll accomplish eventually. At least now she has a chance to spend time with him before he finds his team.]

I'm sure you have, but I haven't. Just like I haven't seen enough of you.

[The words are accompanied by a soft smile that slowly turns wry.]

There are many reasons why you could be different than the others, Steve.

[overdosing]

Well, I am sure it cannot be that bad.

[overdosing]

[oh god. okay, alright, he has a hold of this. okay. as soon as he stops snorting everything will be a-okay.

any minute now.

...

aaaaaany minute.]

[6/6] what

[overdosing]

[ahem.]

That was boring. Incredibly boring. I felt a little tear roll down my cheek for those poor little kind- children in the audience. They must have been on the verge of death itself.

...From the boredom.

[heedthecall]

I don't think I could ever see enough of you.

[He realizes a moment later that came out less sweet than intended and more something else altogether. Moving on.]

That's kinda what she's telling me.

[debts]

It's a catchy song, [ she offers, the quirk to her mouth easier to read — friendly, rather than evasive. ] I'm not sure I know anyone who doesn't.

[heedthecall]

[Very believable. He'll just wait out the reaction - it's cool he's gotten worse.]

They seemed to enjoy it at the time.

[It had been one of the best things about the tour. The joy it inspired, the hope it brought. The patriotism if you will.]

[heedthecall]

So too much to hope that Stark never mentions it?

[therightpartner]

[If anyone except Steve had said that to her...

But she knows that his intentions are different than most of the men they'd served with. And because it is Steve she won't let it go completely.]

Perhaps we'll get a chance to spend some time together. If things work out for us.

[A lady could hope...]

You should listen to her. You were always different... in the best ways possible.

[overdosing]

Well, who knows what their parents did to get them to sit still. No doubt fed them copious amounts of sweets or bribed them with...oh, I don't know, ponies and solid gold toys. Admittedly, I am a tiny bit behind with what the children these days are fond of, so perhaps I am off the mark with this.

Slightly off the mark.

[heedthecall]

I hope so.

[If he believed that second part, he wouldn't be Steve Rogers.]

I dunno. You haven't met some of these people.

[debts]

I think you're definitely overestimating his self-control. [ A beat, then she tips her chin. ] You should stick around and find out.

[heedthecall]

Maybe they just liked the show?

[It was a group of pre-teens. Not usually the hardest crowd to please.]

[heedthecall]

I thought so. Don't think I have much of choice one way or the other.

[therightpartner]

[Perhaps that hope isn't as silly as it seems sometimes.]

Does that mean that you're still interested in that dancing lesson, captain?

I've met some interesting people since my mundane brought me here. Though I will admit that I am rather biased concerning you.

[overdosing]

[his only response to that is a resounding feh. feh to you, good sir, feh. followed by a flippant little wave of his hand.]

My comrade Soldier would have loved this. I actually tried looking for him in the audience because this is precisely the type of show I could see him attending every day until they stopped selling tickets.
