"Oh it can always be worse, and you know it," he replied as he came to lean on the frame of the bathroom, not actually moving inside to trap her yet. He was confident in the situation and plus, he actually wanted the ability to slip away if she somehow had some stupid panic button somewhere in there. He was not getting caught for taking a risk to come and see her. However, already, the strain was lessening. Basking in his presence was enough, the bond satisfied that he had done what was required for comfort for the time being.
"If I had died, you'd have been the first to know. The bond breaks and then you get the pleasure of wallowing in depression and then following me into death," he said conversationally. Because he had a bond, it meant that he had looked into the ins and outs of it, especially given that they stood on opposite sides and he couldn't have something like her getting killed off mess up his real life choices. It wasn't that ironic to him that it had almost been him to take them to death together.
"I have friends in high places, I guess. A real smooth guardian angel," he said with a shrug. The scarring was minimal, skin grafts clean. The real miracle of science and becoming a HYDRA experiment of his own for a month or two. Whatever. "You're looking the same. Got a boyfriend yet?"
