Owner Pose
Svetlana It's lunchtime, and the break room at the Triskelion has the usual traffic. Svetlana sits with a few of the Agents, mostly listening while they talk amongst themselves. Not exactly part of the group, but she's certainly gaining some acceptance by now. The girl is even wearing street clothes, which only makes her look like a teenager.
James Barnes Bucky had arrived in the break room to see how Svetlana was doing....

and lo and behold, there she was! he wore his normal uniform for when he runs missions. Black military garb with combat boots and fingerless gloves over both of his hands, his hair let loose as his eyes turn to Svetlana. "Svetlana." he says rather simply. "How are you fitting in? Run into any problems?" because she's like him.

Brainwashed Russian supersoldiers stick together.
Darcy Lewis Lunch time. FINALLY! Darcy got here way too early this morning. n her usual office attire, the administrative agent makes her way down to the cafeteria for a plate of spaghetti and a slice of cheese cake. Because fuck everyone. Today is Cheat Day.
Svetlana Svetlana hears a familiar voice behind her, and the girl smiles. Turning to look over in time for Barnes to approach, she replies to him and keeps the conversation in Russian. "I am getting along better, but they are still getting used to me." Pausing for a moment, she adds. "It is easier after time on the shooting range than after hand combat." The girl smiles, then gestures to an empty seat. "Will you join us?"
James Barnes Bucky looks at Svetlana then, nodding a few times, but keeping in Russian. "I see. It will take time...I wasn't exactly a trusted or otherwise generally accepted person here either." he sits down right next to her as he looked her over. "Though you appear to be getting along well with others. I haven't heard of any complaints."
Darcy Lewis Spaghetti and cake obtained, Darcy turns to head toward her usual table. Her eyes sweep across Svetlana and Bucky, sitting next together, while the other agents at the table shift an inch away from the pair as they continue on in Russian. Darcy makes her way over on her platform stilettos to set her tray down on the table across from them.

"Hello beautiful. Hello, my Beefcake. I'm joining you," she says while settling herself down with her chin up a centimeter.
Svetlana It's difficult not to be distracted by Darcy's arrival, and Lana smiles more genuinely. "Please sit down, Girl with Big Tits." she replies in English. May would be SOOOoooo proud right now. Shifting her gaze back to Bucky, she keeps things in English while they talk. "I am trying to learn when I am not training. They have given me many movies to watch and much music to listen to."
James Barnes Bucky looks to Darcy and nods then as Darcy arrives, before he looks to Svetlana, tilting his head and speaking in Russian. "......why." but he shrugs then. "I see. then it seems like you are already fitting in, little by little."
Darcy Lewis "Thank you for permission for something I was gonna do anyway," Darcy replies with a broad smile. She gives Barnes a faint wink as she settles, foot reaching out to lightly bump his shin.

"I'm best at movie night. We should do that sometime, right James? Ooh, yeah... movie night!"
Svetlana Svetlana gestures from Bucky to Darcy with a shrug, replying quickly in Russian. "It is how she described herself to me..." Then back to English again. "Movie night?" In Lana's mind she's been watching movies pretty much EVERY night. The classics, including a few recommendations that she's still trying to figure out. Like 'Jaws'. "How do -you- do it, James? Make the change, I mean."
James Barnes Bucky shakes his head softly at Svetlana. speaking in russian. "Please don't say that...it's not a normal definition of someone. Friend would work better." he says then, looking then to Darcy with a kind smile. "if you like, we could go. I know you wanted to do something for Valentines day."

Then Svet asks him a question. "It's not easy. Simply act natural." a kind smile then.
Darcy Lewis The Russian is not understood, so it is ignored. Darcy busies herself with mixing the noodles into the sauce (because that is the correct proportion!) until spoken to in English.

"You and me date night? Let's do Friday? Because fuck trying to get a table for two on Valentine's. Plus, all the chocolate is half off and there aren't stupid people trying to con you into buying fucking roses while you're in the middle of shoving meat into your mouth," she says. Darcy: Ever the romantic! She smiles at Svetlana then.

"Add The Rocky Horror Picture Show to your Must-Watch list, Lana Fantana. Oh, and Firefly."
Svetlana Svetlana purses her lips when Bucky speaks about 'natural', but she gives a curt nod all the same. "You mean normal for me or normal for..." she gestures about the room and lets her question trail off. Darcy mentions a couple more additions and she pulls a small notebook from her pocket. Rocky Horror. Firefly. She'll sort out the details later.

"What is Valentine's Day, friend-Darcy?"
James Barnes Bucky smiles softly then to Darce with a bit of a laugh then. "Alright." is all he says to that...because ou can't argue with Darcy. A look then to Svetlana with a smile, sliping into russian. "normal for you. though without the beating the shit out of everyone." a kind smile then, though when she asks what Valentines day is, he nods. "It's a day celebrating love and relationships mainly." summary.

Go bucky go....
Darcy Lewis "Badass. I'll wear that dress I got recently. I was thinking of you when I spulrged on it, so I'd like you ask that you not rip it off me, okay?" she asks of Bucky as she tucks into her saucy pasta. Svet's question gains a smile and after getting that bite into her mouth, Darcy answers.

"It's a day all about love dovey crap and hearts and chocolate and boyfriend girlfriend, husband wife, and date nights and things. Also, Al Capone totally massacred like a bazillion people in New York on Valentine's Day in the 1920s. Capone was an asshole. I learn the weirdest crap while scrolling Facebook."
Svetlana Love and relationships. Lana was 18 when she was put into the Program, and before that she had trained hard to be a figure skater. Since puberty. Not exactly something she can relate to.

Then Darcy starts talking about ripping dresses off and hearts and chocolate and.... Al Capone? Okay. Dark brows knit at that one, as Lana gets lost in the metaphors. Then she brightens. "Ah! I know about Facebook! But I have not created an account."
James Barnes Bucky looks to Darcy and he smiles softly to her. "I don't plan to rip off whatever you wear." he says as innocently as he can, and he was telling the truth! Either way, a small laugh from him though he reaches under the table to give Darcy's hand a solid squeeze with his not-robot hand. so warm!

THne his attention is on Svetlana. Bucky was a womanizer when he wasn't a soldier...and he was the ladies man. he got all the ladies...now? ehhhh. He's realy mellowed out. Either way.. "Facebook, other forms of social media." he nods softly.
Darcy Lewis "Aw, shit! Well, when you're ready to make one, hit me up," Darcy tells Svet, smiling into her next mouthful. Happy to have Bucky holding her hand, Darcy levels another wink at him while running her foot up the side of his shin.

"Sergent, I do solemnly swear I will wear something rip-offable tonight for you. Say, nineteen-hundred?" Darcy asks Barnes shamelessly.
Svetlana Svetlana nods briskly, eating efficiently with both hands. If she sees the two holding hands under the table she doesn't say anything. But even Lana sees -something- between them, and when Darcy drops her shameless offer the girl does something she hasn't done in a very long time.

    She blushes.
James Barnes Bucky blushes a little bit at Darcy both at her under the table manners and her shameless comment. He coughs into his free hand, before he looks at her. "o-okay..." he says then, looking to Svetlana like he apologizes for Darcy's behavior.
Darcy Lewis "You both are fucking aborbs," Darcy notes as she spies the blushing cheeks of the two super enhanced solders who could flick her dead into next month. Proud of herself, she tucks into more food with one hand while setting a spare fork (because she sometimes drops one) onto the plate with the cheese cake and sliding it over to Bucky.
Svetlana Svetlana may be blushing, but she looks amused as all hell. Chronologically she may be mostly a teenager, but she's trained with Russian Spec-Ops soldiers. Bright eyes flicker from Bucky to Darcy and then back. She gestures with her fork between bites.

"You are flirting with him. And he likes it." she declares, almost triumphantly. "I think I am catching onto this."
James Barnes Bucky looks to all of them, tilting his head a moment before he shakes his head, looking to Svetlana. "Oh, don't encourage her...." he teases the both of them softly. Alas, he simply shrugs then as he rises to his feet after a bite of that cheesecake. "I only came to check on Svetlana. You two enjoy." he smiles softly to the both of them as he turns to leave.
Darcy Lewis "Of course he likes it. I'm fucking fantastic," Darcy replies. Because she is humble and honest in all things. Smiling, her eyes track back over to Bucky as he stands to go.

"So... you're coming tonight, right?"

Yes, the wording was intentional.
Svetlana Svetlana's gaze is somewhere between 'beaming' and 'gawking' as Darcy keeps up the verbal prodding. And then James just... gets up and leaves. Right as she issues the coup de grace.

To her credit, Lana doesn't do a spit-take. She does, however, cover her mouth to conceal the wider smile. "He likes you, I think. You make him uncomfortable, and he likes you anyway." Lana offers as James slips out of normal hearing. "I would like to talk more about... love and relationships. You have much knowledge to share."

And with that, a few of the Agents nearby rise and at least one gives Lana a curious look. "I must go and shoot some more. Talk later." And then she is rising to join them.
James Barnes Bucky pauses then, looking back to Darcy before he leaves, instead offering a cheeky smile. alas, then he's gone.
