Bucky eyes Steve, then the bowl of fruit. On the one hand, he does not want to leave Adia's side. On the other hand, that fruit looks awfully tasty...
Reluctantly, he hops off the couch and heads for his usual spot. Caspar does not hesitate to fill the vacuum, scooting closer to Adia, and oooh, Bucky doesn't like that. He picks out a bit of apple and crushes it deliberately in the corner of his sharp beak, all the while glaring at this presumptuous stranger with one of his bright eyes.
"Bucky was wary of me at first, too," Adia says, echoing Steve's sentiment. She has a better idea of what Bucky might be thinking, but she'll keep that to herself. Only now is it occurring to her why Caspar's wary stares when they're out and about in the Nexus feel so familiar.
"It's all right." And indeed, once Sarah has snarfed up her goodies, she returns to Caspar, happy to sit by his feet. He smells nice and perhaps he'll accidentally drop a bit of that bacon thing that he's picking at. Ethel looks curious, too, but she'll finish her fruit at a more sedate pace, like she does most everything.
With that settled, Adia begins to eat herself, clearly enjoying her meal. Caspar uses the lull in conversation to give Steve a more thorough look. They've only just met, but this man strongly reminds him of Captain Agathon, which doesn't necessarily win him any favors, but at least keeps him from being blatantly on guard. "How long have you had pokémon? Are they native to your world?"
