[ There's a swirl of gratitude when Bucky helps stabilize him, a soft affection and something like always trying to look out for me, huh?
He'd say he'd never expected it - but even back in their fight with the spider kid, Bucky was watching his six. It's been a hell of a road from that to this, when Bucky's one of the only people that Sam trusts with everything he's got, but right now he's just so damn grateful to be able to let himself relax into the bed, rest his arm on Bucky's waist and press his knees against his, let his eyes slide shut.
For maybe a moment too long before he opens them up again, quirking a little smile. ]
Had a little trouble sleeping without you. I spent most of my time making sure nothing was gonna get at you, but - we left the desert, traveled by airship to the coast. Two of the locals were murdered; we think the leader of their own envoy was behind it, think he found out they were conspiring with another envoy. Lot of people are distracted with that.
[ His voice comes and goes as he talks, dropping down and trailing off, slipping into mental communication sometimes. He's distracted, with the rise and fall of Bucky's chest, with the sound of his heartbeat - with the vibrancy of his mind, strong and present when it's been so damn distant for the last few days. ]
