"A bit." There's no denying that, is there? He can't imagine it was amusing for Bucky to deal with -- Oeznik has certainly let his own opinions be known. "But that doesn't mean the vows were... meaningless. You know that, don't you?"

He can't say waking up married or to the aftermath of his terrible choices quite compare to waking up to a changed body. In retrospect, he'd have taken another bender to someone tampering with him like this... but a bit late to mourn it now. There's a soft chuckle at that mention, a shake of his head. "I suppose we have. I think he worries about... this. Us."

Or rather, whatever aftermath waits when all of this crumbles down. But Zemo doesn't want to dwell on that, not right now.

"I-- should have brought it up before Vegas. My apologies, James." At least he'd have had a warning. But-- "It's your house as well, and your life. I don't set out to make you uncomfortable or unhappy either... quite the opposite when I'm able."

It's a complication... Somewhere along the line his soldier and sometimes resilient bodyguard became someone he cares about. It's a danger in its own right, becoming that attached... as Oeznik has warned him countless times. But it's happened and Zemo isn't inclined to do anything about it at the moment.
