action
[ If you're looking for this former star-spangled menace, he can generally be found one of two places. On the Heron, attending to his ship responsibilities, or on the Iskaulit, tentatively settling in with newer responsibilities. He can often be found in the gym, preferably at odd hours, and it's not inconceivable he might wander into the art therapy room to see what it's all about. ]

( Perhaps it is a public space but Sansa wants to be mindful of the needs of others and, of course, wants to try and be alone with her thoughts. Drawing has taken away some of the keen embarrassment she's felt but it isn't nearly enough. She just needs it to be blanked from her mind. )

I will be, soon enough. I've just gotten quite a lot of mail that hasn't settled well with me, is all.

[unspangled]

[ Dividing his attention between Lady and her mistress is a little difficult, if only because he's not sure if the canine is simply a canine or might possess abilities beyond the ken of her apparent species. But it's not impossible and it takes only a moment to find another chair and then drag it over so he's close, but still outside Sansa's personal space. ]

Does anyone need to be threatened? [ Because Steve is good at that. And it seems he has a problem with girls crying. ]

[theladyofwinterfell]

Well, I suppose we could threaten the Atroma, for all the good it does. They seem a bit convinced that I want to do terrible things with every person I talk to in spite of the fact I'm married. Bucky seems to be their favorite target.

( Sansa supposes she isn't helping matters much by drawing a portrait of him with Lady but it's the subject that came to her when she sat down to draw. Lady herself goes to sniff the newcomer, curious. Sansa gives her a gentle command. )

Lady, don't pester our guest. I doubt he's got treats in his pockets.

[unspangled]

[ He isn't sure of the nature of these 'terrible things' that Sansa is referencing, and therefore can only assume she means torture or death. Because those are terrible things. However, he does recognize the other name she tosses out. ]

Bucky Barnes? [ there's a sharp note in his voice, but perhaps he's forgetting there are a couple of Buckys' running around the Fleet. And then he's temporarily distracted by Sansa's pet, holding out a hand for the direwolf to sniff. ]

No treats. Her name is Lady? [ half question, half ... 'huh'. ]

[theladyofwinterfell]

Lady, yes. She's a direwolf. Direwolves are the sigil of House Stark, so it's a very lucky thing indeed that I have her here.

( Sansa doesn't mention that Lady is dead back in Westeros, buried on the Kingsroad. It isn't relevant here where Lady is alive and well. )

Bucky, yes. My Bucky is the version with a silver left arm.

[unspangled]

Mine is the one with a regular left arm.

[ He hadn't thought of anyone as 'his', the idea of possessing someone else leaves a cramp in his gut. But if the redhead is going to claim the Barnes he hasn't met, then Steve might as well claim the one he has. ]

What's House Stark?

[theladyofwinterfell]

I am House Stark, ser. I am the Lady of Winterfell and the eldest trueborn Stark that lives. Of course, I am in exile from Westeros just now but if I were home, that would be my duty and my joy.

( At Steve's mention of his Bucky, Sansa's eyes light up just a bit. She's met Captain Barnes and he's rather kind, even if it is strange to see Bucky's face on someone who is so different from him. )

Captain Barnes is very kind. He's offered dancing lessons to me, actually, since Bucky has been teaching me how to fight. It's strange having two friends with the same face so I've had to differentiate them. Bucky is someone I consider my own family, someone I would take into my household and protect. I would have him at my side as a knight, should he wish it. I do not know Captain Barnes very well yet.
