[It's kind of hard to be mad at the kid when he says that.]
There's just always room for improvement, you know? Especially when your patient is Steve. Best to learn how to stitch up someone who's going to be stupid about it, is all.
I guess it is. I can swing by where you're staying?
Well, he was kind of in a tough spot. Maybe he thought the stitches would hold long enough until he could get actual medical aid.
[It honestly had either been that or possibly bleed out, so Teddy can't exactly agree that Steve had been stupid. They'd both had to work with what they had at the time.]
Yeah, I get that. Thanks. Honestly, this is stuff I should have learned already.
[And he's maybe a bit embarrassed it had taken him losing his abilities to realize this.]
Okay. See you soon.
[The door swings open in record time after the door bell rings, revealing Teddy dressed in the closest approximation of jeans and a t-shirt he could find on this planet. It's not like he had been pacing near the door or anything....he hadn't.]
[He should have known really. A friend of Steve Rogers'. Bucky Barnes. It's not that hard to put two-and-two together. But he's still not prepared to be standing in front of an alternate version of the Winter Soldier.]
T-teddy Altman. [He winces a little at the shakiness of his voice but accepts the offered hand with a firm shake.]
Yeah, it's been great so far. I wouldn't mind it if we could stay on this planet.
[For awhile at least. He still hasn't given up on going home.]
Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to going back, what with the storm and all. But at least we've been able to pick up better supplies and clothing here.
[Which the Agrii better let them keep or he's going to have a very serious conversation with them. Somehow.]
New York City. Apartment in Manhattan if we want to be specific.

Text, sometime while they're on Risa
Thank you.
Want to learn how to stitch somebody up the right way?
no subject
I'm glad the stitches held okay.
[He would never have lived it down if Captain America had bled out because of his lack of stitching ability.]
Yes! That would be great.
I have a healing factor usually, hence why my knowledge in first aid is lacking. But it would be really great to learn.
[Especially if things keep happening that nullify abilities.]
no subject
[If the kid's got a healing factor, too, then it's no wonder neither he nor Steve knew what the hell they were doing.]
But I'd be glad to teach you. Who knows if this shit is likely to happen again. Let me know when you have some time.
no subject
[He knows they weren't the best, but he had been feeling pretty good about them. Did Captain America lie to him to make him feel better? Oh. My. God.]
I'm pretty much free now. I mean isn't that what vacation is about?

Yeah. We're at the hotel, room 7.
no subject
[It's hard to tell through text, probably. But that was typed lovingly. Really.]
I do appreciate it. I just want to make sure nobody gets caught with their pants down, because it seems more likely than not.
Okay. I'll be by in a few.
[It doesn't take him long to get there, pushing the panel on the door that should ring the bell.]

Hey. Come on in.
no subject
[And that's what matters.
When the door opens, Bucky smiles amicably and comes on in.] Hey. Nice to meetcha in person - Bucky Barnes.
[He holds out a hand.] Everything going okay on vacation so far?
[He's just used to making sure people are okay. It's habit.]

[Bucky grins softly, wanting to put Teddy at ease.]
I guess we've just gotta make use of the downtime while we can.
Where's home for you?
