Bruce honestly doesn't mind like he pretends to. He likes the tribble. The purrs are soothing.
"Like I said, they needed to switch up crops to get better yield. Bananas aren't the only ones that were changed since then."
On one hand, he's a little amused by how the man seemed to be sulking over bananas of all things. On the other hand, it's a little sad that not even fruit is familiar to him anymore. He wonders how the man got to the modern day without aging or knowing how the food had changed; had he ended up in an glacier like Steve?
"The strain of bananas you remember might not be extinct, though. It'd be easy enough to look up." He keeps his eyes down at Bucky's hands, using their little pancake lesson as an excuse to avoid eye contact. It's become a bad habit of his, avoiding eye contact, especially when he's having a conversation that is something other than purely professional. "How aware are you of what went on in the last seventy or so years?"
He doesn't want to pry, but that seems like pertinent information, and he won't press for anything else. He's just trying to think about exactly how much the man needs to catch up on.
