That's fortunate.

[Read: someone has met his counterpart and isn't thrilled.]

And you're drinking fluids? Water?

[seeingscarlet]

Does soup count?

[sinistral]

Is there anything weird swimming in it?

That's a legitimate question.

[seeingscarlet]

why would there be anything weird swimming in it?

[Wanda no...]

[sinistral]

I can think of a dozen reasons but they all boil down to the fact that I don't trust this place.

[seeingscarlet]

Just don't get mistaken for one of the monsters

[sinistral]

Pretty sure I'm a different kind of monster

[seeingscarlet]

Not any more than me

[A rare moment of lucidity!

...yeah, that's not gonna last long.]

[sinistral]

Still, it could be useful in scaring off anything that might be lurking under the bed.

[Probably for the best to be honest; it's a conversation that could get very dark, very fast.]

[seeingscarlet]

You can't scare lava

[sinistral]

But what if it's actually monsters and not lava?

[seeingscarlet]

I'll throw my soup at them?

[sinistral]

The soup that Vision made you to get better?

[seeingscarlet]

I can't get better if I get eaten by monsters

[sinistral]

Which is why you should be sleeping with a combat knife under your pillow.

[Duh.]

[seeingscarlet]

But I usually have a Vision over my pillow

[which is obviously better, duh]

[sinistral]

Who says you can't have both?

[seeingscarlet]

One of these things is much better than the other. Much more comfortable, too

[sinistral]

Maybe you should ask him how he feels about knives just in case.

[seeingscarlet]

Because asking about knives in the bedroom is normal and wouldn't worry him at all

[sinistral]

Why wouldn't it be?

[Bucky, no.]

[seeingscarlet]

What do you think it normally means?

[sinistral]

Being prepared for an attack.

[duh]

[seeingscarlet]

That's not what most people would do

[And even in her current state, she knows that if Bucky can't figure it out from here, she should not be the one to explain it to him.

That's Steve's job.]

[sinistral]

I'm not like that. Like other people.

[He knows full well what she's implying; he's not dense. He's also pretty sure that he's just not wired that way — literally or figuratively.]

And I don't trust anything in this Fleet that I'd sleep unarmed.
