[Video | Open to Both Courts]
[He looks slightly nervous. He still... doesn't do this talking thing well, and he doesn't really see the point of introducing himself to everyone. Making himself known to the entire network... showing his face on a recorded device... he's not supposed to, and it's just a bad idea for an assassin but...
But Steve said he should, so... well. He is.]
...hello.
[He swallows, his gaze flickering off to the side, where, unseen to the camera, Steve is nodding and giving him a thumbs up.]
I'm... Bucky.
[He hesitates when he says it, because... it's the first time he's said it. That he can remember.]
I was told I've been here before, but I don't remember.
[He frowns.]
So I'm sorry. If you knew me before. I don't remember you.
[He glances over to the side again, shifts, shakes his head. He's done, he doesn't want to do this anymore.]
That's it.

Hi Bucky. I'm Ariadne. I knew you when you were here last, but it's fine that you don't remember. That happens sometimes here.
video;
Steve told me about you.
[A little. Not a lot.]
We're at your house.
video;
You hadn't been there before -- how do you like it?
no subject
It's fine.
[...that's probably not enough is it. It's a house, what's he supposed to say about it?]
It's... comfortable.

I wouldn't have guessed.

James Buchanan Barnes.
Bucky.
[It feels unfamiliar in his mouth. He's still not sure he likes it.]
video;
Bucky is... cute.
[She's not sure cute fits him, but maybe sometimes when he's got that lost look on his face.]
But you say both of them like they taste funny. Are you not convinced it's who you are?
no subject
[But there's such a disconnect from who he is and who he was that he's still not sure he can bridge the gap.]

action
Steve's just leaning in the doorway, wondering how many times Bucky wanted to just do things for him when he was skinnier, sicker. Because that's how he's feeling right now.]
action
Was that enough?
action
[He smiles at him before coming into the room to sit down.]
More importantly, how's it feel?

Hey, I'd say you did a pretty good job, Bucky. [ she offers him a smile. ] Looking to make friends?
visual;
I suppose.
visual;
[ she doesn't lose that smile, though it becomes more relaxed. ]
Still, I don't think you should feel responsible for not remembering people. That's not your fault - that's on the people who brought you here.

The people are like the nicest part of the deal, though! I mean, they're about as helpful as a world full of people from other worlds can get. So you'll at least have that going for you.

But there's a war.
[Apart from Steve, who's... well, Steve, he's not sure why people would just be so nice and helpful unless they're from the same court, and he hasn't disclosed his.]

Charles.

But he reminds himself that he's got more than a few memory issues going on, and just because Charles here can't remember his time here doesn't mean it's much else like what he's going through.]
You... [He swallows.] You're the first who's said that.
