Merlan...talks. She talks quite a bit. Bucky isn't comfortable with talking but people who talk manic-panic like this usually have good information so he takes it in as she does. He knows vaguely what a hellhound is but "hydra" stops him cold for a second until he realizes she must mean the monster the organization was named for, not the organization itself. God.

"I guess I'll take a book," Bucky says. Books are good. He can read it and absorb it on his own easier than he'll keep up with it from her. Coffee sounds good, too, so he nods his head toward her a little.

"If you don't mind having me in for a little bit, I'd appreciate the coffee."
