[Another stone buried, a secret hidden away from the increasingly shrinking circle of people he cares about here, and Bucky finds himself at a loss. The crowds he can hear gathered just beyond the boundaries of the forest should be enough to have him turn tail and find somewhere else to wait out the rest of the evening. Should be a clear indication of what his next move should be. But he only makes it a few steps in the opposite direction before a gentle breeze slips between the trees and brings with it an all too familiar scent.
John.
He's moving before he realizes it, the urge to shift being stamped down solely because he doesn't want to bring any attention to them. Doesn't want to risk a distraction in the face of John's appearance here. All that matters right now is getting to speak to the other man again, without anyone around to get in the way.
When he finally makes to the edge of John's blanket though, Bucky finds himself frozen in place, staring down at the man in disbelief. Whether he remembers Duplicity or not, the very fact that John is even here is all that matters. He owes it to the friend he had to do all he can to help the man who's here.
Though, of course-]
John? Don't suppose you recognize me?
[-it'd be a whole lot easier if he didn't need to explain the whole being kidnapped by a sex-fuelled city first.]
now that bucky's all death consequenced up...
