They just might have to develop a new embarrassment scale for this place. Even by the weirdness standards of their regular lives this place takes the cake. "Don't worry, I wasn't about to steal your story telling thunder Buck." The blond man grins and shakes his head.

But it's hard to retain his earlier mirth for long with a tentacle wrapped tightly around his ankle, trying to pull him down into a puddle half his size. He grabs onto the hand around his arm with his opposite hand, looking for support as he leans heavily into his friend's side and uses his free leg to stomp on the tentacle. "Just what we need, a tentacled sea creature who doesn't understand sarcasm."

With the third stomp the tentacle finally releases its hold on Steve with a suddenness that has him leaning his entire weight into Bucky. The rules of gravity being what they are means this can only end badly.

Hopefully they don't topple over into a puddle...
