[The scruffy looking one, she says. Yup, that's the one. He ducks his head and gives a bashful little smile.]

"Great, thanks. I appreciate it, ma'am."

[He gives her a little wink as he heads off. He doesn't look back, but he can feel her gaze still lingering. He lets himself shake off the feeling once he walks past the doors. It's just a few steps before Bucky's in sight and Steve lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding.]

"Hey, Buck."

[He turns the officers nearby and they stand up just a bit straighter. One officer tries to hold back a smile, while the other seems to be sizing Steve up. He takes a few minutes to talk to them, make casual conversation. It goes on a little longer than he'd like, but he finally manages to defrost the second officer. He offers to give a few autographs after bailing Bucky out, and that seems to appease them.

They step outside, and as Steve hears the sound of scurrying, he figures he'll have more than a few things to sign before they leave. When he finally turns back to Bucky, he shrugs his shoulders.]

"So, what was this about me hugging you? 'Cause so far, a bar fight doesn't seem very hug-worthy."
