[Sure, that sounds great! Sam will love taking Bucky under his furry wing. ;D]

Things were... complicated. Bucky was pretty sure they always would be, and it wasn't a bad thing, but it was still something that was going to have to be worked through.

Things had been a different kind of complicated during his time in Wakanda, because being the only wolf in a whole bunch of cats that were family -or as good as- on top of being a pack made it more complicated. But they'd accepted him after a while, the kids more easily than the adults, the same as when they were on two legs instead of four. That and one of the improvements in the arm Shuri had designed over the one from Hydra was that it would shift along with the rest of him instead of having to go without.

But now the world had ended, sort of, and then ...un-ended, kind of, and the gang was back together, more or less, which was ultimately a good thing, but not an easy thing, which was why Bucky was asking for the third time that day: "You sure about this? I'm damn big for a wolf, might not be inclined to play nice. Probably safer if I lock myself in."

"Yeah, I've seen Steve before." Sam's tone was dry; the other super-soldier was nearly twice his size in wolf shape, and Sam wasn't what most would call small. He figured Bucky would be the same way. They could both kick his ass in a fight, but Sam would give them a run for their money, at least. More importantly, Sam could act as bait and distract him from anyone less capable of self-defense.

"Don't worry about it, I got you." Well. That was debatable, but the important thing was sounding confident. He didn't blame Bucky for not wanting to stay in Wakanda; the looks everyone gave him made his hackles rise. They'd all been incredibly polite, but it had felt like they were one misstep away from an explosive fight.

(Maybe he and T'Challa had hit it off on the wrong foot. Maybe.)

"We got all these woods up here." Sam gestured to the trees around the compound. "Only thing to rip up is me and the wildlife. I'm not gonna let you lock yourself in a room to wait it out when there's a better option." Sam got antsy enough if he had to stay inside when he changed, and he didn't want to think about what Bucky would be like, what he might have had to endure with Hydra through the years.

Staying locked in was what he'd been used to before Wakanda, and even that had been mostly a case of staying away from everyone else for as long as possible, someone always found him, usually because he was still somewhere near his hut or the river and because the goats weren't scared of him in the least, which had resulted in one of them getting bitten, but only a little, and none of them actually being eaten which was as much of a surprise to him as it was anyone else.

The problem was that Sam had been classified as a threat, and he didn't know whether or not the wolf would remember that was no longer a standing order, and even if it did, he couldn't be sure that it wouldn't just decide it didn't like Sam on principle, more territorial than he had any right to be.

Finally he just nodded, "Okay, okay fine, but for the record I still think staying inside is a better idea." Partly because he wasn't looking forward to having to hike back in the morning if he hadn't done so while still fuzzy.
