Juniper smiles as she slips into his room. It wasn’t the first time she had been in his room before – actually they had hung out plenty of times. This one just felt different. She notes his grip on his drink as he chugs down another mouthful. It was one of those nights. She wasn’t exactly sure if she should say anything or not, so for now she opts to stay quiet on that matter. “Didn’t care to clean up today?” She half giggles as she begins to straighten out the covers on his bed. It was more of a natural habit for her, she never was fond of messes.

Once the sheets are to her satisfaction, she turns back over to Steve before sitting down. Lightly, she pats the covers signaling for him to come sit next to her. Perhaps if she was close enough, she would be able to catch on to what was running through his mind.

Steve had had a rough day, still having no luck in finding Bucky had bothered him. He wanted to help his friend, but it seemed Bucky didn’t want that help. He turned to lean his back against the rail as he watched her before moving back into his room. “Not really.” he mused, not at all surprised when she fixed the bedding. HE moved to sit n the chair near his bed, leaning back. “Had a lot on my mind today. More important things.” he admitted.
