It can't be that classic.

[ classics are greek! roman! renaissance! she finds it a difficult pill to swallow that anything beyond her current year could ever be considered a 'classic' by someone else's standards.

but back to his list -- ] What about the letters? What do you mean by that?

[uprightness]

I'm all in for these messages but it's still not really the same as letters.

I'll write one for you, you'll write back.

Steve, we live together...

[ letters hardly seem necessary. but then again, she considers what a comfort it might have been to have a packet of letters stowed away. after the war. so many did, after all -- scraps of affection hoarded and kept. and what if he left, again?

hell, what if she left? ]

Alright. I'm game for the letters, at least.

[mucked]

Frankly, I don't see the use in it.

[ children's games. ]

[uprightness]

well of course you don't, you haven't seen it yet.

[ not one to be discouraged, it would seem. ]

[mucked]

I supposed we could relax. At the same time. Two birds, one stone.

[uprightness]

See?

[ just one word that seems to betray how truly pleased he is. ]

We can do all of those in a month, easy.

[mucked]

Where do you intend to start?

[uprightness]

Dunno

How about the movie?

[mucked]

And the ice cream.

[ because that's the important part of this particular combination, steve. ]

[uprightness]

And the ice cream, yes ma'am.

[ it's an endearment, by now. ]

[mucked]

Do you expect you'll be able to source some for as early as this evening?

[uprightness]

I expect that I shall.

[ the fancy tone is entirely on purpose. ]

[mucked]

Then you have yourself a date, Captain Rogers.

[uprightness]

you'll have to choose the next one, you know.

[mucked]

Will I? [ a pause. ] Fortunate, then, that I have some time to think on it. Considering the choices on offer.

[uprightness]

Whatever happened to your own list? That I'd like to see considering you're insulting mine.

[ the very nerve. ]

[mucked]

My list? Why, it would include all the things yours forgot. Dancing, drinking, camping.

[ camping. ]

[uprightness]

Mine didn't forget, it just included things we haven't done yet.

I guess they complete each other.

[mucked]

Put it like that and you make it sound downright sentimental.

[ complete each other. good lord. and all she'd wanted to do was try and fluster him a little. ]

[uprightness]

Nothing wrong with a bit of downright sentimental.

[mucked]

You know -- dinner might be nice. [ sure, his list includes cooking and a picnic. but she's talking about a proper dinner out. ] Once Mister Jarvis is himself again, I'm certain he'd whip us up something appropriate over at the Space Bar. Him, or Stefan.

[uprightness]

Would that be on your list, then?

[mucked]

I don't see why not. Also, a puzzle. I'll get you doing a cipher if I have to walk you through it myself.
