Zemira certainly didn't look like your everyday lioness, that's for sure. When Buckingham arrived shortly after Esma, he didn't feel uncomfortable by her fur pattern. Bucky had to look up towards the lioness, considering he's quite small compared to her, his gaze landing on her orange and blue eyes. Bucky knew that there are quite some awful people in the world. Bucky had his fair share with Ximen, that monster only managed to manipulate him into the Asset for a few weeks, and that was just enough to continue effecting him today. While being brainwashed and tortured were horrendous for him to go through, he could never imagine what it'd be like to be in a circus. He would rather be the Winter Soldier than have to be forced to perform embarrassing acts in front of people, especially if they were poking fun at his appearance and abusing him in the sidelines.

His light blue eyes blinked, the former assassin glancing at the multi colored plaid scarf Zemira wore. It pulled his attention away from her speckled fur, fulfilling it's purpose. It took a few seconds for Bucky to snap out of the glance, his optics quickly looking up at the lioness again. His gaze locked on hers, with a flick of his ear. "I'm Buckingham Barnes, feel free to call me Bucky." He meowed, with a nod of his head.
