[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.

I can help with that.

[Steve frowns. Did that sound weird?]

What I mean is that I learned here. I can probably get one of my teachers to help out.

[He looks back at Steve sharply at that, not because it sounded weird, but because he remembers something.]

You find the right partner?

[starspangled]

[Steve blinks at that, keeping his expression carefully neutral.]

I don't know. I danced a little, had some fun. I didn't break anyone's toes.

[wipedclean]

Well there's an accomplishment.

[He doesn't even know where the words are coming from. He looks down at his hand again.]
