Bucky.

[ this —it not awkward, exactly. there's warmth in his tone, but it's muted, careful. still: ]

Are you planning on heading to the other ship?

[lednikovyy]

Yeah. Are you?

[ Bucky wants to at least keep track of who's going over out of His People. Thomas is clearly in that group in his mind. ]

[ettersberg]

I wasn't planning on it, no.

[ thomas is checking in for much the same reason, really. ]

Please be careful.

[lednikovyy]

I'll be as careful as I can be.

[ Something in his voice turns a little warmer, though. ]

Easier to be careful when I know someone's worried about me, though.

[ettersberg]

Of course.

[ he'd have worried even before their last encounter. now —well, it certainly hasn't lessened the sentiment. ]

I trust you're more than capable.

[lednikovyy]

If I'm not, will you come save me?

[ He's joking. Probably. ]

[ettersberg]

I would prefer if that didn't become necessary.

[ but, well- ]

Yes, of course.

[lednikovyy]

Well if it looks like I'm in danger, I guess I'll just have to assume that you'll come riding in like a knight in shining armor, then.

[ettersberg]

I would do my utmost.
