He takes a seat after her, absently scratching behind his ear.
"Actually, it's, uh, Captain."
Catching her eyes, he holds up his hands and laughs. "I'm not teasing you, I swear. I guess it's weird, you and me both being Captain Rogers. But you don't have to call me that. I was in the service a long time ago. Now when people address me as captain it's usually as Captain America. Steve's just fine."
He looks away on purpose. He likes to see the way people react when he tells them he's Captain America. It's vain, he knows it, but it's also helpful to know going in who the other person is interested in: the man, or the legend. Not this time. He's embarrassed, so he picks up a pencil and carries on, forcing himself to count down from ten before he looks at her again.
"I used to study. Fine arts. I've been thinking of picking it back up, but. It's been a long time. My life went in a different direction, I guess you'd say."
