[Manipulative and obviously without a lot conscience, if his idea of a good time was just to get people hurt for no other purpose than curiosity. That's a combination that Bucky definitely has no interest in getting further involved with. He's met Fern, the kid seemed mostly good, if a bit naïve.]
I'll make sure to keep a close watch for him.
[Hard, cold.]
Didn't anyone do anything? I've seen the abandoned police station, but isn't there any kind of authority here?
It's nothing you could go to them about, anyway. He's very good at covering his tracks with that sort of thing. He never told Fern to do anything, just... wound up a toy soldier and pointed it in the direction he wanted.
[He's seen the cats, but he hadn't realised they were the police. This town gets weirder and weirder with every moment.
That phrasing bites at him a bit, and he makes a very firm internal resolution to go nowhere near Elias again if he can help it.]
Right.
[So, not good then. He pushes back from the table, leaving the majority of his drink untouched. Now that he knows a little more about Elias, he kind of wants to be out of the library if possible.]
I should go, I just thought you might want your tape back.

Oh. Y-yeah. Sor- Thanks again for returning it. Be careful out there.
no subject
You too.
[And then he's turning and slipping out of the room.]
