I mean, I did find out, just not at the greatest time.
[For either of them. She appreciates the sentiment, but she doubts it would've stopped the hunters from trying. Even Bucky couldn't stop them. Didn't help that he was naked, but...]
I appreciate it, but you can't be everywhere at once.
[She doesn't say it, but does it really need to be said that he can't save everyone? It happened. She's so not over it, but she doesn't feel like openly sobbing about it either. It's easier to just repress her emotions until she's alone.]
[She's so exhausted mentally and physically that she couldn't come up with any kind of plan right now if she tried. Other than mindlessly staring at the TV or falling asleep. The latter being very tempting right now.
In desperate need of physical contact, and feeling comfortable enough with Steve, she at least attempts to lean against him. It's not like he can get sick from her anyway.]
[ He lets her lean, and does one further, goes to give her a hug, holds her pretty tight. And he's warm and solid and strong and smells like aftershave, so. It should be a pretty decent one. ]
You know that's not what I mean, Skye.
[ But he doesn't ask again, goes quiet so she can take her time. ]
[It's more than decent, it's exactly what Skye needs right now. He might be able to feel her relax against him, even as he tries to nudge her to talk about something she doesn't want to talk about.]
[Skye never wants to come across as 'needy', but she really just needs some human contact right now. Even if there's a big chance she'll fall asleep soon.]
[ It's alright. If she falls asleep, he'll tuck her into bed and stick around a little bit in case she wakes up during the night. He'll wake up early in the morning to go home, if need be. ]

[ But he still feels bad, his arms crossed over his chest.
He tries so hard to relax. ]
What should we do now?

Can we just drop it for now? Please.

Can I get you anything?

Thanks, Steve.
