[ small, appreciative smile ]

Little late to be worrying about that.

[shrugs and eats some more popcorn because it's not like he cares or anything]

It's not the technology, really, it's just . . . [ huffs a laugh ] Everything else.

That's why it's called culture-shock, it's all-encompassing.

Well, not much choice in the matter.

It can't be that different, your friend Barnes seems to be adapting.

That's Bucky for you.

I'm pretty sure someone taught him how to use the internet, it was annoying because I wanted to do that.

[ laughs ]

Lemme guess. You assumed he'd be more like me.

[WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING 8(]

... yeah. My bad.

Yep.

[stretches and checks the time]

Look, it's almost a reasonable hour to be up.

Yeah, yeah, I'll get out of your hair.

[ stands and stretches also ]

Keep the notebook.

You keep it for me.

[debates this for a second before speaking]

... fine, but I don't want you to make a habit out of coming here while I'm working.

[ starting to head out ]

Try to get some sleep, Tony.

Yes mother.

[gonna shut down his stuff and head back to the house]

[ just gonna leave the notebook there, all unsupervised and tempting~? ]

[ he drew the suit. it's drawn realistically, but it still has a character to it that separates it from, say, a schematic. Steve only had the pencil, so it's in black and white, and all of the detail is given through shading. it doesn't call to mind the glossy, hot-rod shine of the real thing, though; instead, it's shaded entirely with crosshatching, giving a worn, Velveteen Rabbit impression. ]

[LUCKILY Steve is not around to see him smiling. Sets the notebook on the table and heads back to the pool house]
