It was a warm afternoon and Bucky's day off, so he'd come down to the beach to enjoy the view and the salty air. He had the distinct impression that he wasn't going to get to relax like this for too long, so he was going to take it while he had the chance.

As he comes down to the Beach Breeze to get himself a drink, he spots Gladio -- it's hard not to -- and hops onto the next stool over. "If you go down to the water be careful," he says lightly. "The mermaids think we're toys," he smiles at the person behind the counter and orders a smoothie before turning his full attention to Gladio. "You're one of the new arrivals, right? I'm Bucky." Perhaps the most notable thing about him is that instead of a metal arm on the left, he's just got an empty sleeve.
