[Daisy's lips pressing together when he, subtly, calls her bluff. At least on the front of her not having a place to stay right now. She could've figured it out, but it might've been harder with no technology to help her in getting a room.]
Don't really have a plan, wasn't really thinking that far ahead.
[There's still anger brewing in her. She wants nothing more than to go through with her plan, but how was she supposed to do that now? She needs to get back home, but is that even a guarantee?]</small
[ it's not ideal; he'll be sleeping on the floor, it's hardly respectable, and he doesn't really have excess supplies, but they'll make do. once he deems her safe, he can take her to his folks' place - they reacted well enough when he picked up steve, he can't imagine they'll be less receptive to a young woman in need, who just lost a family member.
they all know what that's like, and they weren't alone for it.
there's a moment of quiet, and then the water mercifully starts to boil, and bucky can busy himself making coffee. he brings her cup over along with the piece of pie first, sets both down in front of her, and lays a gentle hand on her shoulder. ]
Whatever's happening, you'll have a harder time going at it alone. If you want to talk, I'm listening.
[Daisy shakes her head at his offer. This was a bad idea, agreeing to even come here with him. She should've just stuck with her story and went to a hotel. She feels guilty with how kind he's being to her, when her intention was to kill someone.
She also feels awful for him. He seems so nice, and yet she knows he'll become a killer soon enough he'll be manipulated by HYDRA to do their dirty work.]
[ get some help before things become worse? he heads back to the kitchen for his own cup of coffee and piece of pie, and takes the seat in front of her.
this is becoming a pattern with him, isn't it, gravitating towards stubborn people in need who won't allow themselves to admit they have needs, that it's not a sign of weakness but a sign of humanity?
well, he's got plenty of practice at this dance, he can do it with his eyes closed. ]
I'm offering, you can take me up on it. It's a question of wanting to.
[Pressing her lips together, Daisy looks down at the pie and coffee in front of her. She's even less hungry now than she was a few minutes ago as the guilt gnaws away at her stomach.]
I appreciate that, but, I can't.
[What if she let something slip? It could screw up the whole timeline. Fitz was going to chew her head off whenever she managed to get back.]
[ whatever it is that's gone wrong in her life, beyond her uncle's death, he can tell it's big, it's weighing heavily on her.
she has no reason to trust him, and he's got no right to pry. that doesn't mean he can't call it like he sees it. ]
Whatever it is, you don't have to square up to it alone. I know you don't know me, but it doesn't seem like you've got anyone else around - might as well give it a try?
[ he can be spontaneous, thank you very much. but leave everything and just go? no, never. he's got a family here, responsibilities. and he's never wanted to be on his own.
[ it's his turn to raise an eyebrow at her. really? ]
Look, if you really want to leave, I won't keep you. [ he's got no right to, and he doesn't know her or her situation - except instinct's telling him she's in trouble, and he wants to help. ] I'd like to think you'd get offered a hand anywhere you go, but other places aren't quite as friendly as Brooklyn. So at least sleep on it.
[She wants to point out that she wasn't the one who asked for help, but ends up stopping herself before the words can leave her lips. After all, it wouldn't be fair of her to take out her frustrations on him.]
Okay.
[Daisy smiles a tight smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. Would she actually get any sleep tonight? Probably not. There's also the chance she might just dip out the moment he's out.]
You going to drink your coffee before it gets cold?
[Yes, that was a very obvious attempt to switch topics.]

I'm just going where the road takes me.
[As long as that road leads to Germany, somehow.]
Haven't you ever wanted to just go somewhere without putting too much thought into it?
