[ Bucky leans in, not even thinking about how natural it feels. ]
She's not happy, but I think she's smart enough to be practical and she knows how to choose her battles.
[ it's just not worth fighting the once-Winter Soldier over someone she'd need to expend more resources on solo. Plus, even though she knows there's something between them, it plays to her advantage. Bucky leaves out her prissy little "warning" about how this is going to end up. Zemo likely already has a pretty good idea. ]
