[ they haven't talked like this before, and bucky knows that andyr is sharing something very important with him -- something he probably hasn't told very many people, considering his knee-jerk reaction to things is to bare his teeth and launch an attack, like the world's most aggressive rottweiler.
still, andyr paints the picture and bucky quietly fills in the blanks, staring at the text in the phone. it's cold, words on a screen -- they can be clinical about this, even if the horrors of what's happened presses steadily on his consciousness, a monster within him that he has to figure out how to live with. ]
a tube. you haven't sent me your fish fact for the day.
[ that's the most andyr will get out of bucky for now -- it's nothing personal; it's just that he really doesn't want to talk about it. ]
[ all he does for commentary, as it's pretty clear bucky isn't interested in discussing it. fine, he can respect that. as for fish facts, let him just amend that. ]
Plecostomas fish are freshwater fish that feed on algae and the waste from other fish. They shouldn't be mixed in tanks with goldfish, as they're attracted to the extra slimy coat they have and will attached to the fish.
[ It's actually comforting that Andyr doesn't make a big deal of it - the last thing he needs is someone coming down on him and wondering why he doesn't speak up. So when Andyr moves on and talks about fish, Bucky's a lot more receptive, focusing on what he tells him instead of the monsters he keeps at bay. ]
the goldfish could die. they have that slime coat as sort of a stress reliever and immune system boost. when you take it off, they're really vulnerable, and easily freaked out.
also why you don't want to touch fish much with your hands or a net.
