[ his eyes light on that bottle almost hungrily, but he holds it together long enough to get through bucky's characteristically brief greeting. as happy as he is to see that vodka, he knows something is about to go down and he's not ready. whatever it is he just knows he isn't ready.
but as with anything else he jumps in feet first and without much thought at all. he follows bucky down the hallway without too much hesitation either. ] You're starting to freak me out. [ an admission he might not usually give out, but he's about at the end of his rope here. ]
[ He's freaked to hell, too, but dammit he's trying to keep composure. This is a big thing, and he wants to handle it with a little more tact than the situation had been in the past. Bucky doesn't want to tell him necessarily what's going to happen. Not outright. Gleaning what information he can first might soften the blow that things are going to go pear-shaped. Though Howard might already have come to that conclusion just by being back.
Once they're in a secluded enough spot, he sits against the wall and offers Howard the bottle. ]
[ oh. now he feels bad!! howard sits by bucky and accepts the bottle, offering the other man a wan sort of smile. ]
I'm guessing I'll need this before you get started. [ don't worry, he's already taking a generous swig. he almost doesn't feel the burn. it's just nice to have booze okay. even if he knows it's preceding something fucked up. ]
