Honestly he'd expected to be berated a bit for basically wanting to shirk his responsibilities and not necessarily stick his head in the sand, but not get too involved either. It's not the right thing to do, when adversities come and he's alone on his mountain having a cup of coffee looking at snowcapped mountains while the rest of the world burns. It's not the-- American or Captain American or Steve Rogers thing to do.

But Steve got to save the world again and go back to get his girl. And Bucky isn't Steve. He's nowhere near redeemed himself enough to deserve his happily ever after in the Alps.

"I'm already mad," he points out softly, giving Zemo's hand a light squeeze.

"It'll be nice, to go back and stay." He doesn't want to say 'if something happens to you' because if he doesn't say it aloud then obviously it would never happen. "But I want to take care of Oeznik. He isn't getting any younger." If Oeznik is following him up there, that's fine. But if Oeznik wants to stay here, then Bucky's staying too.

"You're all I have left. The two of you." And the mangy old cat who's likely only going to be around for a few more years. "Alone time in the mountains can wait."
