It hits Bucky just how much he is truly unable to be surprised anymore when he lifts his head to see a woman just barely hanging onto a leash, which is just barely containing what looks to be a hungry hyena. He blinks at the animal and then looks around in confusion, taking in the park dotted with pine trees that look more New York than Atlanta.
The hyena gets a little closer and Bucky isn't afraid of the animal, but he does hold out his left arm just in case he needs to keep himself from being mauled, and lifts the cake up higher so it's out of reach.
"Hi," he says plainly, blinking as the hyena's tongue lolls out to lick at his metal hand. "Uh, celebrating. My friend got a promotion." He lifts his gaze from the hyena to look at the woman again. He almost tells her that he's about to ask a weird question, but she's walking a hyena down a city street. She probably gets that a lot. "Where are we?"
