[ He sounds rushed. Wind whistling. Might be he's mid-flight. ]

Not to ambush you, but I'm gonna need you to meet me at the people zoo. I ain't in, but Peggy is - the woman you're talking to about a job at the Red Emerald. Hate to start Team Oh Captain My Captain off by asking a large favor, but I need you to buy the rest of her time. I'll pitch in what I got.

[Carol hears the wind whistling in the background as Sam speaks, and the way he sounds in a hurry. Taking account of those facts, she's listening instantly. As Sam explains, Carol doesn't hesitate.

She knows about the People Zoo; knows it's a real bad time and people really don't want to end up there.]

No problem, I got it! Where is the People Zoo, and where should I meet you? Who do I need to speak with to buy off Peggy's time?

It's in the app, I'll drop you the location. There should be attendees there to talk to to buy up the time. I'll try to get there fast as I can, but in case the cops make life difficult, please get in touch with Peggy and make sure she gets bought out by you no matter what.

[ The rushing intensifies for a moment - Sam's letting himself drop, meaning he's close to the elevators. ]

I owe you for this, Danvers. And in this place, I don't say that lightly.

[ In this place, no matter how much he likes there, the power imbalance is tilted in her favor. And that blows - so yeah. It means something that he's willing to make that promise easily. ]

Okay, noted. I'm about to get in the air right now, and I've got the app open. I'll try and get there as fast as I can. I'm still learning my way around this place. Something tells me I won't be able to miss the people zoo, though.

[Carol tries to keep listening, tries to focus on any details in the background. If Sam winds up delayed or in trouble, she wants to be able to help him too.]

Sam, you don't owe me anything, I promise. I'm happy to help, however I can.

[She tries to put as much meaning into her words as she can; she might be stuck here in this city with its awful rules and imbalance of power, but she can at least try and fight against the shitty social structures to the best of her abilities, even if only through small gestures like this assurance to Sam, for the moment.]

Ms. Danvers, I was wondering if you have any potential contracts lined up?

( she meant to ask sooner but, between Bucky dying, Sam leaving, and everything in between, she forgot. )

Hi Peggy! Uh, no. No I do not, and I was going to try and work on that soonish. And yourself?

[If Peggy's looking to contract with her, Carol would be relieved, she realizes. Something about contracting seems more...tolerable if paired with someone she knows.]

I had offers but they each have a contract already, and I rather not insert myself into an established dynamic.

( read: she doesn't want another submissive to potentially find themself facing punishment because of her trouble-making.

and seeing as Carol hasn't anyone in mind, and already knows how much of a mess Peggy can find herself in, well... )

Seeing as you haven't anyone and neither do I, perhaps we can help one another out and contract?
