Question that I'm already sure I'm going to regret asking:

Is someone actually expecting us to wear these uniforms?  They're not exactly GQ, and the fact that one seems to keep magically appearing in my closet when I try to toss it out is starting to scream cult dynamic.  I'm not gonna wake up sewn into one next week, am I?

Unfortunately, yes. Just try to ignore him.

How are you? Everything good?

[I mean as far as we know, no one here has the secret passwords to turn you into a killing machine, but... checkins aren't a bad idea, probably.]

[cryostasis]

[how does he say that he isn't sure what "good" is anymore? After everything he's been through, constantly being put together and pulled apart. he thinks he's getting better, but compared to what? does that kind of scale even exist for him?

instead:]

Yeah. I think everything's good right now.

[He believes him and he doesn't at the same time. Or rather, he doesn't think Bucky is lying, but it doesn't stop him from worrying.]

Good. That's good. Do you need anything?

[cryostasis]

Maybe less confrontation from Stark. That might be good.

[flagwaver]

Yeah, I saw some of that. I've been telling him to lay off, but I think it's a pretty raw nerve for now.

I'll try to keep my distance. But I don't know how long that's going to be sustainable.

I know. I'm going to try to talk to him. It's just a delicate situation.
