"Safe." He supposes. In many ways, it would be safer than where they are now -- another reason Oeznik likely chose that destination, beyond frustration or wanting to give Bucky a break from Vegas. There's no real reason to reiterate how he feels about all of that either, how much he'd rather there weren't aliens or superheroes or anything so big. Bigger than humanity, a danger and a threat that most could not hope to stand against.

No, instead he just reaches across the seat to rest a hand over one of Bucky's. He understands it. Wanting to just-- stop. It's quite a life to be entrenched in for so long. You make enemies, you can never quite truly relax. Add on the fact that they are likely very wanted men at this point...

It is exhausting after a point.

"Would you like it if we found a small place there? Not to live at permanently, of course, but one we could return to on occasion." As much as Zemo's skin crawls at that sort of isolation after so many years of it--

Well, never let it be said he's an inconsiderate spouse, or that he can't be generous when he wants to be. "Or-- you could go alone on occasion, if that's what you need. Or live there permanently, but only if the worse happens to me, of course. And only if you promise to venture out occasionally. You'll go mad in that sort of isolation, James, however nice it may feel."
