[Mick blushes at the compliment before he starts dishing everything up so they could eat]

Yeah, she had some stuff she needed to do.

[woundedwinter]

I can bring her some by later. [He helps get the table ready and sits down with an easy grin.]

[beer_and_fire]

Thanks doll, that would be great.

[Sits with Bucky at the table]

So..aside from seeing you for lunch, I had another reason to have you over.

[woundedwinter]

Oh yeah? Got something in mind do ya?

[Mick chuckles and eats a spoonful of soup before replying]

So the Casino is hosting a singles night. Len needs to mingle even if he refuses to admit it. I was wondering if you wanted to help me subtly suggest to a few people that maybe they should seek him out to talk to him.

[woundedwinter]

Trying to draw him out are you?
Yeah I can try, but subtle spycraft like that was never what I was trained in.

[Mick gets a grin on his face]

It depends on who you try to use that spycraft on. You have a friend who just arrived who needs to make friends don't you?

[woundedwinter]

You want me to send Stevie at him? [That gets an amused snort of laughter.]

[beer_and_fire]

Well Lenny likes people like Nora and Barry. Steve is a lot like them. If nothing else it might give them both a friend. I ain’t worried about romance or nothing like that.

[woundedwinter]

I know you're worried about him. [Bucky reaches across the table to hold his hand.] I know what he means to you.

Stevie will want to help but I don't know if he'll be able to be more than his friend.

[Mick turns his hand and threads their fingers]

I’m not worried about that. It’s just. I know with us and Diana and all he’s just...[Mick sighs heavily]

I have a feeling I’m going to see him less and less, and I think he’ll be the same with Lisa. He needs a friend. He doesn’t really have anyone close anymore that doesn’t constantly remind him of what he lost when Nora left.
