[ Steve almost-smiles, and Bucky answers it with a lopsided grin of his own, bumps Steve's shoulder gently. He shoots Dick a bit of a conspiratorial look. ]
[ Somewhere in Haven, Damian Wayne is suddenly annoyed without knowing why. ]
He really likes you.
[ He'd nodded to Steve as he went off, and waited until he was definitely out of earshot to confide this to Dick. He's still relaxed, and the smile has turned wistful. ]
[ Dick is still beaming a little at Steve's back, chin propped in his hands. ] I was hoping I'd get to meet him sometime. I've heard so much about him.

He really likes you.

action;
[ He doesn't usually joke so openly around strangers Bucky introduces him to, and he rarely smiles. In Haven, Cass is the sole exception. ]
Only the good stuff, I hope.
action;
...There's not so good stuff?
action;
action;
Well, if it's that bad...

[ He laughs, and then settles next to Dick, resting a hand on his shoulder briefly, a silent thank you, for making Steve smile. ]
