"My wife used to complain about that as well, you know. Not opening up, not talking... I'm afraid it only grew to be more of a habit in solitary. Most didn't care to hear me talk at all, regardless of the topic. Sometimes I spoke regardless, just to keep some semblance of sanity, but never about anything others could use against me." A pause before he gives a shrug of his shoulders.
"Not that I think you would, or that my wife would have. They're still habits, and I can do better in the future." Or try, at least. He can't make more promises than that.
He nods at the offer, accepting. "That's all I ask, James."
Zemo always has a natural inclination to push, and it isn't like to get much better. But he will try to not push so many buttons, all the time. It isn't polite to do to your husband anyway, he supposes.
... But Bucky can expect that the minute they're done with their lunch and out the door, Zemo will be pressing up to him, fitting himself against Bucky as he leans up for a kiss.
It feels like he may have to lean even further up than usual. There's something a little annoying about losing even more height, but it isn't worth ruining the moment over either.
