[ The smile drops off of Bucky's face, but he forces it quickly before the kids can really take notice. He can't tell if this is some kind of test or a sick joke, but he's not going to upset a bunch of kids for something selfish, especially something he knows he doesn't really deserve.
Instead of answering, he throws himself into playing with the kids and when it comes down to it, he lets them win, because that's what you do with kids where he's from. You try just enough to let them think they won and then you congratulate them and send them to play with the other kids.
Once the kids have run off, the smile drops from Bucky's face for real and he turns back to Stark. ]
