Hm. You're right.

[ Steve's heard the tales told in both cities now, Olympia's kingdom versus Wyver's. The recent sickness plaguing (quite literally) both cities was met with suspicion and tension from both sides, aimed at the newly arrived refugees. Everything lies on a very thin wire with each city likely waiting for the other to make the first move.

Steve's just afraid the group of them, lost and without their original homes, are likely to get caught in the crossfire and there will be very little he can do to help. ]

And that - the not knowing, it makes me a little nervous.

[ The song ends and Peggy sways to a stop as the crowd around them erupts into polite applause for the band. Her focus, however, is entirely on Steve — she smiles up at him and it's a little more mischievous. ]

Knowing things is my job, darling. [ She's teasing, she hasn't gotten to the bottom of anything nearly as well as she'd like. But she intends to keep at it. ] Don't worry.

Yeah. [ Again, she's right on that.

He leans in just a little closer to her, enough to look like they're hugging. ]

Around you, I never do. [ Worry, that is.

He won't ask her to share everything she finds out, but he trusts that the important bits, the bits that he'll want to know, she'll tell him in due time.

In the meantime, he's got his own, loose investigations within the Royal Guard. ]

[revlon]

Is that so?

[ She feigns a thoughtful hum, toying with the hair at the nape of his neck. ]

Maybe I've been playing it too safe here, then. It's been a bit since either of us have gotten into trouble.

[ Not necessarily true. She'd hit the ground running here, particularly when she was tasked to catch a dangerous Wyver agent right off the bat, and then the associates of the Shady Man. But it's Christmas — or something like it — so maybe it's time to ease up a little. ]

Maybe we should step outside before it finds us here.
