[Yep okay she is cracking a very amused grin, clearly on the verge of laughing. Totally not her fault, though! Any reasonable person would find this hilarious!]
I've always thought he would be good like that. Too bad he doesn't like me in that way to get to see that part of him.
[She can get that, she wasn't exactly looking for a relationship when Monty turned up.]
That might change in the future, so you shouldn't be completely dismissive of the idea. Who knows what can happen five or ten years down the road, you know?
[He shifts a little in his seat, uncomfortable with the topic of his future. He knows, thanks to Steve, where it might be heading and it's not towards a relationship. But he's brought things down enough between them, and so he just gives her a small smile.]

[He shouldn't be able to get drunk, but he can here.]
The last time I did that, I ended up on John's bed in the middle of the night.
no subject
Really?
[He probably doesn't realize what that sounds like, right??]
no subject
[It's embarrassing, okay?]
He was good about it, though, made me stay all night.
no subject
Was it a nice night, then?
no subject
[He's not about to delve into the reasons why he was drunk, but does he seem like the sort of person to end up on a friend's bed for no reason?]
But John was-- good, I guess he was what I needed at the time.

He'd probably be more open to you, uh, that way, if you didn't tease him so much.
no subject
Yeah? People are usually receptive to friendly teasing? [She just. Rests her chin in her hand.] How do you think I should act around him?
no subject
[He shrugs, furrow at his brow.]
He's just wary because of that misconception he had about mind control powers, give it time and he'll forget.
no subject
Well, I suppose being truthful is always more of a turn-on than lying.
no subject
What are you talking about?
[Turn on? He thought they were talking about friendship.]
no subject
[C'mon Bucky, connect the dots.]
no subject
I think you're making out that something happened that would never happen.
no subject
Are you sure? You two are very close, I think you'd make a good couple.
no subject
[Seriously, Renart? He can't even be mad, it's so dumb.]
no subject
[Yeah yeah, she is only teasing.]
no subject
[Not to mention immoral for a good Christian young man.]
Besides, even if I did dance to that tune, it sure wouldn't be with John.
no subject
[The legality of things was never a good excuse, in her opinion.]
Why not?
no subject
He's family, he might as well be my brother.
no subject
Aw, that's sweet. Disappointing, but very sweet.
no subject
[He's solitary for life now.]
no subject
no subject
[He's okay being alone, it's not pessimistic when it's what he wants.]
no subject
That might change in the future, so you shouldn't be completely dismissive of the idea. Who knows what can happen five or ten years down the road, you know?
no subject
It's getting late.
[He's good at this subtle escape thing, right?]
I should go.
