"Sure, Buck. Sure." He pulled back and stepped around his best friend, looking around them both. Wakanda is the most beautiful country he'd seen in a long time. T'Challa really took care of his lands and his people in a way that Steve truly respected. He was glad Bucky was here, healing like this.

He chuckled, turning back to his oldest friend. "You know me. I can go all day..." He sighed, nodding his head slightly. "Sam, Nat and I have been operating. Mostly under the radar for now. The only place we can step."

Bucky gives a nod and then he motions with his one hand toward the hut, they could sit comfortably inside and chat. It's more modern inside than the appearance would indicate as is such with most of Wakanda.

"I almost miss it."

He doesn't really.

Steve nods in return, slipping into the yurt easily enough. It's warm, modern, everything he would not expect of a yurt anywhere else. He sits, getting comfortable as he looks up at his oldest friend.

And he laughs.

"No, you don't. You're good here. I can see it," he murmured. "You like it here. Come on, it's warmer then that god awful apartment we had in the dead of winter. Nicer too."

“I said almost,” Bucky laughs and he looks around as he graves them Both a drink, offering one to Steve before taking a seat as well.

“Well, we are in Africa,” Bucky points out.

[noblecaptain]

Steve took the drink, nodding his head in agreement. "I do know where we are," he teased. Steve hesitated a minute, staring down at the drink before looking up at Bucky. He could see how good and happy his old friend was. That made him feel better than anything else could.

"It's more than the heat," he said softly. "You look like you're at peace, Buck. It's... It's reassuring." All he wanted was to know Bucky was alive and well. He didn't need Bucky at his side, fighting like it was the war all over again. He just needed Bucky alive.

Bucky looks at Steve for a long time after that and he doesn't quite know what to say. There's a lot and nothing at the same time, really.

"Reassuring?" he finally settles on asking and then shakes his head.

[noblecaptain]

Steve nodded his head slowly. "Reassuring. You look like you are happy here. That... That's all I want for you, Buck. I want you happy." He smiled, his cheeks reddening a little. "You're my best friend. You're practically my family. All I want is for you to be happy."
