Steve just listens quietly, nodding, taking it in. It sounds... yeah, okay. It sounds a little messed up. A little like Bucky hadn't known how to reconcile what had happened to him, had... split, somehow. Had decided that Bucky and the Asset were two different people sharing one body.
He's not sure about this Bottomless Pit, but... well. Steve gets wanting to eat all the time. The serum sure does that to a guy.
He's concerned, yeah. But - but really, he thinks about it for a long moment, and honestly? If this is how Bucky wants to deal with what happened to him? Then that's how he should fucking deal with it. It's not like there are self-help books or even professionals equipped to understand how to help him. The horrors he went through are Steve's fault, but Bucky's the one who went through them, and he's the one who's come out the other side.
"I - uh," Steve manages, laughing a little, almost helplessly. "I bet he's a little confused, yeah. But if he - if this is his home, right? Then he can help us. And we can help him."
He isn't sure if he's talking to James now, in there somewhere, or if his words get relayed, or what.
