lefthandfree: (scrapes and lies)

Though the sound of someone approaching and taking a seat across from him had caught his attention, it was the light that bobbed over and now illuminated his scratchy reed-work that actually made him look up. Catching the glance, Bucky made his own as well and snorted quietly at the sight. It was now that he was reflecting on the last few minutes of writing that he realized he had been squinting quite ferociously at the page from the dim lighting.

“Can’t say I disagree.”

Looking back toward his new acquaintance, Bucky took a moment to glance him over, wanting to gauge the man’s intent. His casual mannerism made it clear that he meant no threat to Bucky by his arrival, but also, as much as Bucky hated to admit to it, the fact he looked like some goddamned prince on his wedding night with how immaculate he looked helped significantly.

“You from around here, I take?” He could only guess from the man’s clothes and pointed ears. He looked down briefly to finish the sentence he had been working on, before it could slip away from him, before setting down the reed to offer the man his full attention, not wanting to be rude after being so generously acknowledged by the stranger and offered better lighting.
