[He probably should have done this as text. But he started the video, and he doesn't feel like changing it now.

Bucky's hunched over, clearly sitting in the middle of his apartment floor, the hood of his sweatshirt pulled over his head, his hair hanging in his face. He's curled in on himself, and his eyes are red-rimmed.

He looks awful.]

Steve is gone. I. I looked everywhere. For days. But he's gone.

[Angrily, he pulls his sleeve across his eyes and shakes his head.]

I can't... I don't... I don't know what to do without him.

[He sinks in on himself.]

I can't stay here. But there's no way out. What am I supposed to do?

Hey, dude.

[ Her voice is gentle. She's... been exactly where he is, actually, so it hurts a little to see. She remembers all her friends in Haven disappearing one by one. How much each time stung more than the last until she couldn't take it anymore. ]

I'm sorry about Steve. I wish I could help, too, but. I can't. At least not with what you need. [ Getting out of here, she means. If she knew how to help people home, she'd do it in a heartbeat though. ] The only thing I can do is hang out with you if wanna'. Maybe at the orchard? Something to keep your mind off of it and all.

[ It's not much, she knows, but maybe something to keep him busy will help. She can play music even and... It's a long shot, definitely, and she's not going to be surprised if he turns her down. ]

[He's quiet, considering the offer. With River gone as well, it's not like he's got many friends left in Hadriel. If any at all. And hell, maybe that's what he needs.

A distraction, yeah, and one that Steve would approve of, since he wasn't so keen on Bucky going out and killing monsters at every opportunity.

So he nods slowly.]

Okay.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Oh. She was so prepared for him saying 'no' that she actually, uh. She's actually a little surprised he agreed. ]

-Okay! [ A winning smile spreads on her face. ]

Uhm. I'm there usually, like, whenever I can be. So, y'know, whenever's good for you.

[wipedclean]

[He nods again.]

Okay.

[Though he's not entirely sure how long it will take him to get up and go there. He's never been so laid low by emotions before.]
