--yeah, I did. Until I didn't.

[He awkwardly clears his throat.]

I promised you one, too, didn't I?

[latenightfondue]

There no war where you're from?

[ He doesn't really seem fazed by learning he only carried it on so far, once he's gone someone's got to make the decisions. ]

Sure y'did, but I ain't gonna get as much use outta it.

[ironmanic]

Not the one you're thinking about.

Well, I- okay, fine, you won't use one.

[Just don't get in danger again dad. You're the only dad he has.]

[latenightfondue]

Left not long 'fore it was supposed to'a ended, according to the books they got here anyway.

Can use one well enough to test 'em, but I prefer to stick it out behind the scenes.

[ironmanic]

You used to talk about it a lot. The war and Cap, I mean.

[A vague touch on the whole you're my father situation, just brief enough to be uncomfortable.]

[latenightfondue]

Told you all the tales, huh? Started a collection, but he don't really know about it. Comics and stuff left lying 'round.

[ He's feeling the awkward, but he likes the idea that he would tell any kind of his all about the good old days later on down the line. ]

[ironmanic]

I read 'em all, don't worry. I know.

[He clears his throat.]

[latenightfondue]

Gotta keep the legend alive.

[ He's not sure if it would have been much different if he hadn't gone MIA, but he doesn't think about it much. ] Glad they got passed down.
