better than getting Maratyred, right? ...right???

WHO? Siegfried ([personal profile] gerechtigkeit), James Buchanan Barnes ([personal profile] lefthandfree), Jean-Paul Maratatat
WHAT? Despite all his rage Marat is still just a rat in a cage. I mean the sewers. They trapped him in the sewers to nullify his vote.
WHEN? Before the vote, while maintaining shifts and watch over their new human-sized pet.
ANYTHING ELSE? cw for TEAM TOP BARA




[Though they’ve divided up slots of time to alternate between scouting, keeping an eye on Marat, and resting, unlike many of the other missions he’s done in the past, whether with the Howlies, for Hydra, or on his own, time seems to pass differently. He knows teamwork well, his recent forced foray into that territory still fresh in his mind, but there’s a huge stagger between that and pairing up with someone. Solo work is the easiest; there’s never awkward silence, just him and what needs to be done. With a large team, there’s no way for everyone to talk at once either, so keeping to himself still comes easily. When there’s only two people though, he grows keenly aware of the other party’s presence and existence, ultimately necessity for the mission, but when there’s nothing really pressing to do, like right now?

After all that work they did in preparation, he certainly hadn’t really thought through how to handle the intermissions.

Saber is out getting rations for them after a scouting run. Which is great! But also, now that the guy isn’t really on-the-mission-clock, so to speak, Bucky feels like keeping quiet is akin to giving him a cold shoulder. Less great considering they’re teamed up and trust is important on assignments like this. He’s been polite and easy to work with the entire time, something Bucky hadn’t anticipated but certainly appreciated greatly. Maybe if the state of their current task were any more dire, it’d be easy to brush off the silence, argue that focus is the most important and not chatter, but. The reality is, babysitting Marat for the next few days is going to be a cake walk for the two of them; the most difficult part of their mission has long passed.

He gives another peek toward their unknowing captive, mumbling to himself and seemingly settling for rest, curled against cold, wet bricks. The upside of watching over some guy who’s half outta his mind is that whispers are the least cohesive thing to their senses.

Hey, Saber. [Classy start, Barnes. He keeps his voice quiet, obviously not wanting to rouse their dozing target.] What’s your home like? Where you came from, I mean.
