[playingoursong]

So glad to know I was your, what, third choice?

I guess I'm supposed to be grateful that you picked me, and not the flying tin can or lump of coal.

Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention.

Comments

[notrosie]

Tasteful as always.

[playingoursong]

Agent Carter.

I see your "mun" has good taste, at least.

[notrosie]

Don't fault her too much. You're marginally more useful than that Stark.

[playingoursong]

He fell that far from the tree, huh?

[notrosie]

He didn't. That's the problem. If the two of them were in the same room I think the world might collapse in on itself.

[playingoursong]

[Bucky grins.]

Well, let's hope that never happens. I could think of much better ways for the world to go.

[notrosie]

I'm sure you can. Thousands, probably.

[playingoursong]

[Look at him pretend to be innocent.]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

[exloserspromise]

When do you ever pay attention?

[playingoursong]

Hey, I pay attention sometimes.

[When there's a girl.]

[burnsbright]

Nothing you can do about others going first. Except needling your mun about it, but it looks like you have that down.

[playingoursong]

[Hello, there.]

Hi. Yeah, I have needling down pat. Never been a problem.

You won't have to worry about it, though.

[notrosie]

[ Look at her not playing that game. ]

Yes, you do.

[burnsbright]

[Don't touch, and that's fine.]

Good. Some people have to really study that art.

Oh?

[playingoursong]

I see being here hasn't changed you much.

[playingoursong]

I guess wit really is falling more and more by the wayside.

[burnsbright]

Nah. It's cyclical, comes in and out of fashion.

[playingoursong]

Hope it picks back up again soon, in that case.

[exloserspromise]

Trying to impress dames doesn't actually count.

[Shh, no, it really does.]

[notrosie]

Did you expect that it would?

[burnsbright]

Maybe you can spark a renewal. Work on your act, impress people, they think, "Hey, that could work on me"...

[playingoursong]

If that doesn't count for anything, then we live in a cruel world, Steve.

[playingoursong]

No. I wouldn't change a thing, personally.

[Insert charming smile here.]

[notrosie]

Lucky for you, then.

[playingoursong]

The fellas I associate with have plenty of wit, so maybe we can team up and change the world.

[Snort.]
