OOM: afternoon coffee
Even people who pride themselves on supporting independent shops end up at Starbucks sometimes.
There's one within walking distance of Steve and Orpheus's apartment -- there are more than one if you're up to walking a bit more -- so Steve brings Felix there, so he can see what it's all about if nothing else.
It's a quiet Sunday afternoon. Steve has his sketchbook, but he hasn't opened it yet in favor of looking through a copy of the Express someone left on the table instead.

"Any chance of a reassignment or promotion eventually?"
no subject
(Yes, he still get the "I'm so ridiculously in love" look after all this time.)
"I don't know if that's the answer. I'm still a captain -- that's a pretty high rank. As for reassignment...I don't know where I'd go."

"Why are you going somewhere?"

"I'm just venting my disillusionment at Felix. How was busking?"
no subject
"It was...profitable." Which is a fairly bland description of what his work generally is.

He tells Felix, "He makes money even when he doesn't put a hat out. People just flock to him. It's amazing."
no subject
He shrugs at the description of his playing, not shrugging off the compliment, just showing it a fair assessment. "I could not make money if I tried," he says with a faint smile.
no subject
He gives his drink another stir; everything's starting to melt a little, making it a hell of a lot easier to combine.
no subject
"Pretty much what it takes," he remarks with a glance at Orpheus, and he flips another page of the Express.
no subject
He grins then, and takes a sip of his coffee. "Though the stick option is far more entertaining. Maybe I should hire you for that, lovely."
no subject
"Your own personal bodyguard," he deadpans. "How romantic."
no subject
He hands it to Orpheus. "What d'you make of that?"
no subject
He takes the magazine and glances over the article. "Well," he says after a moment. "That's...new."
no subject
"What is it?" he asks.
no subject
"They're going to do an exhibit about Captain American and the Howling Commandos."
no subject
no subject
"Can I see?" he asks, beckoning for the paper.

He always got the impression that Earth didn't have enough spacegoing experience to warrant a whole museum.
Gaeta glances up at Steve. With clear sympathy, "I can see how that'd be weird."

And then, after a beat, "Are you going to go see it?"
