Yes, it's very thrilling when it arrives! And sometimes you forget until the last second! A few weeks ago I got one back that I had sent out for my brother for this comedian, and I wondered for a second why there was a huge envelope for me in the mail.] Thank you, I am now.] Madeline set down two steaming mugs of it on the little table. One for James, and another for her. "To be honest. I'm still in college." she said, grabbing her arm uncomfortably. "But I want to major in the performing arts, I love to act." Madeline paused for a moment. "My parents say it's a long shot though. Only a few people actually have luck with that sort of thing, so I should pursue something more down-to-earth... What about you?" (I can imagine! haha, that's awesome!) Bucky watched Madeline get the coffees, his eyes following her movements until she sat back down and slid his coffee towards him. He froze for a moment, just staring at the steaming mug, and then grabbed it and slowly brought it to his lips. It felt warm going down his throat and for a moment it felt a little bit like comfort, but then he put the mug back down and looked at Madeline, realizing that he was with a stranger surrounded by thousands of other strangers. Taking a breath, he nodded slowly as she talked, and then replied, "Performing arts, eh?" He attempted a small grin. "I was always more of a martial arts guy..." He hesitated for a moment and then, "I actually joined the army outta high school... But, I'm... I'm not there anymore." He took another sip of his coffee, his mouth suddenly dry.

You're okay my friend, there's no need to apologize. ] "Oh... why not?" she asked him curiously. Suddenly looking down at the floor as if it was really interesting and feeling warm. It wasn't her place to ask that kind of question. "If you don't mind me asking." James looked like the type of guy who would cope very well in the military; he looked like he might have been through some rough patches at one point, but he was also tough looking.

That had been precisely the reason he hadn't wanted to say anything. But he felt it was easier to talk about his past than lie about who he was now. Unfortunately, he didn't remember as much of his past as he should have. Most of his memories were still patches, only some were a less blurry from what he'd recently learned at the museum. Yet, what could he say? Technically, he was still a soldier. Technically, he had never willingly left... "I was injured," he said at last, trying to conjure the truth the best he could without giving anything away. "... and I guess I just never went back."

"That makes sense... well I won't prod any further." she said, smiling up at him nervously. To be honest, she felt so embarrassed and hardly wanted anything to do with her coffee anymore. She set it down on the table. "It was nice meeting you James, we should talk again sometime." Madeline wondered in the back of her mind if he had a place to stay, but thought twice this time about offering him to come over. Besides, she had only just met him.

Bucky wondered if he had been wrong to say anything at all, but when reading her expression, it seemed like she was more embarrassed than suspicious. He cleared his throat and gave her a straight-lipped grin. "It was nice to meet you, too," he said. And although he was still a bit suspicious of the whole ordeal, she didn't seem to be hiding anything and he genuinely meant what he said. However, he wasn't sure it was good for him to make any friends. "Perhaps we'll meet again," he said, his next words a bit unsure.

Perhaps. she thought to herself. "Good luck James." Madeline said. She quickly cleaned up her area and walked away with her Converse shoes making no noise on the floor. She continued out the door of Starbucks with him still on her mind. Madeline discreetly looked back, he was still in there. What if she had been right before, and he really didn't have anywhere to go? She groaned internally at her own persistence to help him. Madeline came back into the coffee shop again. "I hate to ask, but do you have somewhere to stay? You know, there's an Inn down the street..." And my apartment has an extra room.....

He watched her as she cleaned up and he offered a brief wave as she left. Just as the door jingled, he took another sip of his coffee, watching her disappear down the street from the window over the rim of the cup. It was warmer inside, anyways. Maybe he'd stay in the shop for just a little bit longer until he figured out where to go next and then disappear where no one would find him, get his life back on track. He put his mug down and when he looked back up, Madeline was standing there. How he hadn't seen her coming, he didn't know, but he nearly jumped back in his seat. "Wh-" He bit his lip to save himself from yelling out loud and then composed himself. Her question sounded in his ears, then, and he wondered if he looked like he was living off the streets. Was it the backpack that gave him away? A frown crossed his lips as he felt his pockets for money: a few crumpled ones and a twenty that he'd found on the sidewalk. It wouldn't pay for a night at an inn, unless he did some begging or offered to clean up in exchange for a bed... He'd just have to find another soup kitchen or hideaway, maybe find another alleyway... "I've got a place," he lied. Or, I'll find one. It wasn't good to stay in one place for too long. When he got enough money, maybe he'd leave the country...

[Ahh! I'm going to see Kong: Skull Island in a few hours, in IMAX 3D!]
"Alright, good. I'm sorry I startled you." she gritted her teeth. You're such an idiot.she scolded herself. Thinking that he can't help himself. James probably thought she was some creepy stalker person now.
[Sorry, I didn't know what else to write. xD]

Although he knew he shouldn't have felt any bit of regret, somehow he did. She'd bought him coffee and took his mind off of things for a bit, offered him a place to stay, and he'd basically told her to leave. Had he even said thank you? Sighing, he stood up and drifted his hand towards his pocket. He pulled out the crumpled ones and held them out to her with a small smile. "I apologize if I came across as rude," he found himself saying. "Your kindness means a lot, really. Take this. It's for the coffee..." He put one hand on the strap of his backpack, slung over one shoulder, and continued to hold out the money with his other hand. "It's... It's been a while since I talked to anyone like this... Been a while since anyone was this kind to me, really..."

My fangirl feelings are so overwhelmed right now, omg.]
It was very kind of him, and Madeline could have benefited from the money he was offering her right now since she was still attending school and barely living off of ramen noodles, but she decided not to take it. "It was no trouble at all." she answered. "But I can't take it. You never know when you're going to need it." She pushed his hand away gently.
