[There's a rustling noise on the voicemail, with a question of "Like this?" followed by the following for the voicemail.]

Hi, this is uh, Bucky. Leave a message if you need me I guess?

[And further rustling, followed by "Why do I need to do-?" before it cuts off.]

[He looked back at Donnie, assessing, looking unsure, maybe even skeptical, as he was considering the answer.]

You truly believe that.

[A statement of fact, not a question. And he seemed as surprised by it as he had by anything else.]

I mean, yeah? If I didn't I'd have to disown my family.

[He could go on and on and on about his brothers' mistakes.]

That's...

[He took in a long breath.] That's not what I was...ever taught. But it sounds...more correct. Like how things...should be.

[Another thought before he looked over.] You do...science things, correct?

It's how things are, Bucky.

[He could go on, but he's being asked about science!] I do, I dabble in a lot of sciences.

Which ones do you like best?

[At least Bucky seems to realized that there's different kinds.]

I...I think I remember something about...cars? And...armor. Things like that.

Personally? Anything with technology.

[As to the rest, he chuckles.]

Well, that's interesting. Do cars interest you at all then?

I know how to hotwire and operate any vehicle including military grade aircraft and most forms of public transit? Is that...like an interest? It was always more of a...requirement to think than most other things I was made to do.

[... He can't help it, he starts to laugh at that. Because well, it is something.]

I mean, hotwiring is illegal. But knowing how all those others work is good, but I wouldn't call it an interest unless like... You want to know how they work and repair or build them with that knowledge?

[Bucky actually seemed to ponder over that one, shifting his gaze to the side, but not in the way he usually did so to avoid eye contact. More that he honestly was just thinking.]

I...do like to know how things work. To...see things that are new, that I didn't know existed yet.

Then there we go. I can help you with learning some of that, or you could try one of the schools they have here to learn.

[Yes, he remembers that Leo said he should suggest the schools to Bucky.]

Schools? I...am I not far too old to attend a school?

[He didn't sound offended exactly, more as though the very idea bewildered him to the core.]

Even if I did, what...good would that do? Is that...useful?

I mean, I don't think so?

[He doesn't know, he never attended school!]

It's an avenue for learning, and hey some people learn better in the structured setting of school. If you don't that's fine too, but it can't hurt to find out.

I...

[Bucky's eyes went to the side, but it seemed more like he was thinking this time, eyes darting a bit back and forth as he apparently seemed to be figuring through the data.]

...it might be...interesting. To be able to just...learn, without it needing to become...anything.

Then there we go.

[As he says this he claps his hands together to make his point.]

There's a school of technology and a school of... Ugh, magic that I know of, but I think you need to already know magic for that one?

[He's pretty sure he heard that somewhere, possibly from Casey?]

[Bucky's nose wrinkle at the mention of "magic" probably did Donnie's heart some good.]

...a school of technology sounds more interesting. Considering that there is...that I am part technology as well. I would like to learn more about that as well, to understand more of what I am now. Where would that be?

[This is why he likes you, Bucky.]

It's in Wintermute, the more snowy and cold part of this place. I could take you there one day?

Egh. More cold.

[It wasn't a no, but he clearly decided to clarify it anyway.]

Yes, I would like to go, some time, I believe. So long as it's...not too much trouble to reach there.

It's no trouble getting there. There's the train but also depending on the weather we could fly?

[He's got his Legend wings but also ninpo battle shell, so flying is always an option.]

I don't...know if I have ever flown. I don't want to fall. But...I...do not like trains.

[He was making a face, as though he were detecting some sort of bad smell, at the idea of trains. But didn't seem utterly troubled, either.]

So long as there is not falling.

Really? The train might be longer but it's safer.

[Because well, there is always the chance of being dropped.]

Although I've never dropped anyone when I've carried them while flying.

...if the train is the better option, we can take the train. But I would like to stay in the middle of the car and away from the walls as much as possible if there is an attack on it.

[Perfectly normal thing to be concerned about on a train, surely.]
