Eyes trail towards Bucky at the question, thoughtfully. "It remains to be seen... So far, he has been a rather welcome relief from the cell."
He's not entirely sure if it will get a stern look from the older man, a reminder to not let his guard too far down. But lying to Oeznik has never been terribly appealing.]
