[Bucky's out in the snow, trees behind him, and squinting a little in the reflected sunlight.]

Hey, uh...anyone have an axe?

[He tries to be casual about the question. He doesn't want to tip Steve off completely, nor does he want to acknowledge the practice trees he might have damaged in his attempts to bring them down in less conventional way. He might be able to knock it down, but it really didn't have the same...look.]

I do not, but I might be able to provide assistance with something similar, depending on what it is needed for.

[thestaremaster]

Ah, you know. A little casual homicide? [With that deadpan face it's hard to tell if he's joking.]

[Video]

[tyrants_son]

I prefer casualties only when they are justly due. [Same goes for this helmeted face but he might just be serious.]

[thestaremaster]

Well this tree's just been asking for it. You should see this guy's rap sheet.

[Video]

[tyrants_son]

A tree.

That should not be a problem.

[Video]

[thestaremaster]

Real prickly bastard.

[Video]

[tyrants_son]

Show me this tree. Where shall I meet you?

[Video]

[thestaremaster]

You know where the glownies are? Meet me round there and we can walk out together.

[Video]

[tyrants_son]

I will be right down.

[Video]

[thestaremaster]

Roger that.

[True to his word, the warlord descends from above. He drifts down from the security tower that he's taken up residence in, his greatcoat flapping after him as he floats down towards the ground in the direction of the ranch. Walking the rest of the way won't take him long at all.]

No, but I have a sharp wit. [ ba dum tsh. she can't help but be a little teasing. ]

What's the project, though?

[thestaremaster]

[He points knowingly at the camera and smirks.]

Workin' on a little something for Steve.

[obmanchivyy]

Please tell me it's a nice, peaceful cabin for pre-retirement retirement?

[ look, he is still smaller. and if anyone deserves chill, it's him. ]

Going lumberjack now?

[thestaremaster]

I've been told I have the right look.
Trying to set something up for Steve.

[sinistral]

Guess so.
I'll let you know if I find one.

[thestaremaster]

You wanna join us some time, maybe?

text;

[sinistral]

No.

text; (no, L = noel = Soldat wants to join in on CHRISTMAS, ha)

[thestaremaster]

If you change your mind...
You good out there? With the snow and everything?

text; (lol right? he's such a humbug)

[sinistral]

I won't.
It's just snow.

text; (someone send him three ghosts :-P)

[thestaremaster]

Yeah. I know. You're stubborn like that. I'm just saying.

I feel like I'm going to owe Sam an apology when I get back. Hacking through our defenses is exhausting.

So no interest in helping me put together this thing for Steve, then?

text; (Buck and Steve count for two)

[sinistral]

You would know.
No interest in the headache.

text; (past and future covered, lol)

[thestaremaster]

See, I think there's at least a little interest, or you wouldn't have said anything from the start.

text;

[sinistral]

You expressed need of an axe. I said I'd let you know if I find one. That's all.

text;

[thestaremaster]

Of course.

[Snow? Trees? That request? Yeah. He gets it.]

You ask Stark? Bet he does.

Video

[thestaremaster]

I mean, probably. If he's not half buried in some project maybe he'll see this. Didn't wanna bug him again so soon.

How you doin', Kid?

[doubled_speed]

I can check if he’d got one lying around.

Doing pretty fine, Old Man.

[You earned that one, Triple Scruff.]
