[ There's a sigh in his voice. ]

I won't. [ Mostly because he doesn't usually speak with Alva the way he does Andyr, and anyway, it's not his business what they talk about with each other. He frowns though, looking away from the MID screen and leaning against one of the walls. ] What did they do?

[ Why did you kill them? Though something says he already knows why. ]

[deconstruct]

[ there's a pause, andyr's eyes closing, to block out the peaceful ceiling and reflections of water shimmering across it for a moment, breathing out slowly, and feeling like he wants to be dangerous again. for the hate in him, for his own sanity maybe. like he wants to march back into the city and hunt every last one of them down, like some kind of nut.

that's what he'd been back home, anyway. some kind of nut. ]

Well, they were slavers. So it's less 'people' more 'human waste'. So, guess the more accurate thing would be 'taking out the trash'.

[abide]

I stopped some of 'em with Bucky before I ended up in medbay. [ So, he knows. Steve doesn't remember their faces or how many they killed. He only hopes it had been enough to free some of them, and at the very least, give them a chance to be free. Another sigh, and he glances down, rubbing his fingers over the other permanent mark that's on his other hand before standing up a little straighter. ] You know...

[ Maybe it'll get Andyr's attention focused on something else if he says it. ]

I accidentally got married while I was there.

[ andyr’s mouth opens to reply to that, having already known steve had been one of the slaves taken on that colony, due to the mark on his chest he’d explained, but there’s an abrupt halt to all of that when ‘accidentally married’ comes up.

L o l. Legit, he’s cracking the fuck up now. Brows lifted high and stuttered laughter coming from a wide, open smile. ]

Oh my god. How do you get accidentally married, dude? To who? Did you get accidentally divorced yet?

[abide]

[ Laughing is better than the kind of lethargy he's been displaying, so he just lets it slide. It does sound ridiculous like that, anyway. ]

It was part of the recon. Didn't realize it had happened until after. [ There's a pause. ] Ask Bucky about it when you see him. [ And after that, he sends a pic of the mark around his finger - a band of simple stars - that obviously doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon. ] Not yet, but we're working on it.

I thought there was usually some kinda ceremony involved with that that's sorta hard to miss. [ steven, how did you even accomplish this. what did you do. bless your precious, innocent, adorable heart. and then the mention of the spouse in this arrangement is brought up, almost with the telling band of stars, and if andyr didn't lose his shit before, he certain is now. ]

Buck-- Oh my god, I love this, it was Bucky? [ laughing. his. ass. off. oh lord. he wishes he could've been flower girl for this. the mind theatre alone is priceless. just think of the winter soldier in a floraly veil, basically. ]

That's perfect. So where you headed for the honeymoon, Mrs. Barnes?

[abide]

[ He supposes he deserves that. Steve rubs at the back of his neck, kind of shrugging. ]

They asked a bunch of questions and paired us without explaining that part. [ Something about matching the person with the same mark on their finger, not that he'd ever assumed he'd have been standing right next to that person, and after a second or two, Steve sort of frowns. ] I don't know if he really got what it meant. [ A pause. ] Do you think it means anything?

[ Because his relationship with Bucky is complicated beyond what they are to each other, and asking Andyr probably isn't the best way to determine any of that. He shakes his head. ] Never mind. I guess I'll have to figure that part out as soon as we leave.

[deconstruct]

[ andyr pauses a second, giving some honest thought to it. it doesn't really surprise him much, honestly, that they'd been matched. they're attached at the hip, and endlessly tangled up in each other. even with how skewed bucky is now from what he was, he's still intrinsically in sync with steve most days. ]

Think it just means you could love your best friend. [ romantically love, and really, andyr doesn't think that's something that should be unusual. considering he maybe sort of loves his oops we're not talking about it. if there's someone you can be that close to and feel that open with, then yeah, love should be a possibility. maybe it wouldn't work out for a large number of reasons, but that's everything in life. ] Or you're just a good team.

[ isn't that what marriage is supposed to be? going at life tag team? hell, what does he even know about it? he only ever remembers his father raising him, and what he has in his mind of his mom are glimpses and blurred memories of a nurturing woman. either way - ]

I don't think that's a bad thing, Steve. Or anything shocking.
