[He reaches out to take hold of the sleeve and pull it up, before careful fingers touch around the wounded area as gently as he can to examine how bad it is. Zack can probably tell from the way it's happening that Bucky still only has one arm.]

Doesn't look dangerous.

[ He can tell pretty quickly by the way his sleeve gets pulled up as it does that it takes more time. He's still without that other hand. That's a problem there. Not that it erases the surprise when Bucky's as careful as he is with that wound. It's a strange feeling... Bizarre to know those were the same hands who killed.

He wonders if that's how people feel after getting to know a SOLDIER. The people who hate SOLDIERs or fear them.

But he shakes his head out of that thought quick, nodding shortly. ] Okay, let's keep going then.

[ This time, it's Zack who puts a hand on Bucky's shoulder. There's no sense limiting him further. ]

[It feels good knowing that they've already taken one out and saved one of the lights, because it does feel like that's what they're doing... saving something important.]

Did I ever thank you?

[It comes into the silence suddenly as he walks, waiting for Zack to give him more directions.]

[ooc: Sorry for the wait, I've been on holiday without internet for a few days.]

[heroproceeding]

[ The comment's so sudden, he's not really sure what to make of it at first. Just pauses mid-stride, gaze off in the general direction of where he thinks ought to be Bucky's face. ]

Thank me? What for?

[ Off hand, he can't think of anything he's done for him. Not lately anyway unless he's talking about before? ]

Coming when I needed the blood transfusion, helping out.

[Most people know he's dangerous, so agreeing to help him out is a big deal. It's not something that everyone would do.]

It didn't work for long, a week maybe, but it did help. So thanks.

Old thread is old at this point, so I'm gonna wrap it up here if that's alright? <3

[ Oh.

...Oh. So, that really was what he meant. Zack opens his mouth. Closes it slowly. Then opens it again as he shifts his weight from one foot to the other. ]

...Uh, Sure. No problem. With so much going on around here, we gotta help each other out, you know? Just a shame it didn't last that long..

[ Which means he's also going to have to be more careful around him from here in... isn't he. Never a dull moment in this town. Zack pats his shoulder after another moment. ] But come on. We should get going.
