At that Bucky snorts softly with a minute shake of his head for emphasis. Pacifist, he knows the term, it means one who will not fight and therefore one who will not win. HYDRA had no love for them when he was theirs, they had stood in the way of the future order.

He rocks back lightly on his heels, perfectly balanced as he regards the creature before him. What Kankri is (beyond not human) he doesn't know, nor is he concerned enough to ask. "James Buchanan Barnes." he pauses, then adds, "Bucky."

The second question he debates over for a moment, May I ask seems a strange turn of phrase to him for the question is asked regardless. He decides there is no risk in answering, "I stay here."
