Bucky just nods. Everyone remembers things about him that he doesn't. Everyone wants things from him because of that. It's nothing new.

He doesn't, really. But he seldom gets visitors, aside from the tall, fierce women who he knows have been set to keep a guard on him. It's because of them that he keeps tea in the house. There's just enough left of the old Bucky Barnes, the Brooklyn Bucky Barnes, that he doesn't quite feel comfortable entertaining a woman without offering her something to drink. Generally, he and whichever of the Dora Milaje has been put on today's Winter Soldier babysitting duty will sit and stare at each other over their cups of tea. Sometimes the Dora Milaje will ask politely about the weather or the crops. All that Bucky can think of to ask in reply is how are things in the city, to which he usually gets a cool stare and a one-word reply.
OMG I love this. Bucky and his guardians being awkwardly guardedly polite. Drinking rooibos? (Rooibos is great.) And Bucky trying to make his knives into a sickle, to help weed instead of kill. Love it.
