It ain't hygienic.

[ But it doesn't stop him petting her when she comes back to them. ]

Never said it did, Cap, y'ain't in trouble. [ Shrug. ] Wouldn't mind having a word with him anyway. Heard he might be the guy to speak to 'bout a job.

[Bless.]

You've never owned a dog, have you?

[ Subtle, Steve, subtle. ]

Nah, never had much time for one, move where the work takes me.

We never had one but there were always dogs around back home. They kind of smell everything. They also roll in everything.

Bet y'feed 'em when they came begging. [ It seems like something he would do. ] Y'ever need anyone to watch your girl, though? I'm your man.

I didn't. I was allergic. But Bucky did.

Sometimes I forget y'were a little guy. Speaking'a which, how's everything going? Still in order?

I haven't deflated or anything.

Figured that one, kid, but I gotta check occasionally. Guess you ain't seen much action here.

I run.

You're a braver man than me. [ Stuffing his hands in his pockets, casually watching the dog as they walk. ] So what'cha been up to?

I'm still getting used to things here. I sketch a lot.

[His hands are behind his back]

A lot. Sometimes I'll do some heavy lifting for an extra bit of money.

Y'doodling for money? [ Huffing a laugh. ] Ain't nothing wrong with putting that extra muscle to good use.

I did go to school for it.

[He looks kind of pleased about it]

But most people here draw on the computer.

Vaguely remember reading over that bit in your file. [ Very vaguely, it wasn't the most important piece of information. ]

They can do that sort'a stuff now, huh? Gotta get me one'a those things.

You'll show me when you figure it out, right?

Ariadne and I still sketch mostly on paper.

Sure I will, buddy, anythin' for Captain America. And - [ With a smug grin. ] - I do love every chance I can squeeze in to strut my stuff.

Ariadne? Little dame, right? Pretty little thing, that one, and kinda sweet. Y'got a thing going with her?

I kind of figured you did.

[Wait what no]

No no, we just draw together.

Am I getting to be that predictable? Better do something 'bout that before it gets outta hand.

[ Amused. ] They call it that here, huh? Drawing. It's different I'll give it that.

[PAUSE]

It's not-

I-

It's not like fondue!

[ It's so easy. He feels bad.

Patting him on the shoulder. ] I'm messing with you, Cap, relax. And, hey, a guy like you? Y'gotta be getting fondue from somewhere.

Well, no.

[But he's turning bright red. Modesty induced, okay? He's thinking of Bucky]

No?

[ He can't act surprised, Steve's not that kind of guy, and he secretly admires that. ]

Y'ever need any pointers, Cap, let me know, yeah?

How can you and Bucky be so casual about it?

[He's so red it hurts]

[ He so wishes he had a camera. ]

We lack in the morals department. It ain't nothing to be embarrassed about, buddy, it's natural. A guy's got his urges.
