The Soldier (should he start calling himself Winter?) digs in readily. He watches Gold out of the corner of his eye the whole time, without ever really watching him. Taking in body language, the chore he's doing, what little he can glean about mood and intent from the speed and direction of his work.

Finally, halfway through the soup-- which takes a lot less time than you'd think, because the Soldier is inhaling it-- he speaks up. Frankly, he shouldn't be speaking out of turn, but he needs to learn about his new handler. The man clearly has some kind of power, but he also seems to have a settled life. That had to come from somewhere. "Did you have this place before HYDRA had you?"
