She almost makes him bark with laughter, catching him off-guard with her statement and her smile alike. She's a surprising woman, so much like Peggy in a lot of ways. Peggy always liked to give him what-for when he forgot there were other countries outside of America. It was funny when she did it to Stark, but terrifying when he was the one in the storm's eye.

"You can't know where you're going until you know where you've been," he surmises, bobbing his head. "Hey, I know we're the baby brother of countries here, built on just as much luck as enterprise. America's my home, Age--Rome. A home I've kind of missed after months of war. But I don't kid myself in thinking I can protect her or her citizens if I ignore the wide world out there, and seventy years is a long time to be out in the dark."

He twitches a smile. For once he's not actually trying to be argumentative, her passion just happens to be contagious. What can he say? "Uh, audio books? I don't have any experience with that at all. I mean, I've learned about MP3s and DVDs, but all I have is a TV at my place that some agents think is funny for some reason."

Some reason happens to be because it's a monstrosity. A cabinet TV with a built-in turntable and radio that sits on the floor. It doesn't even have a remote.

Steve likes it. It has character.
