He'd kept low for the fireworks, even though they'd suddenly stopped shooting at him as soon as he got out of distance from John and Danny. Therefore he hadn't gone back to them immediately, having figured out the link between him, his company, and the rate of fire. It would be stupid to endanger either of them that way again. So. Setting off by himself seemed the most prudent course of action, for the time being.

Finding them again after a day or two, however, proved much more difficult....

It was one thing wandering around an arena trying to survive - and entirely another actively seeking out one's friends. Usually Sherlock would avoid all signs of human contact (the likelihood of an individual wanting to kill him were much too high and not interesting enough to warrant the danger), but in this case he was actively seeking them out. The benefit of finding John or Danny again outweighed the risk.

So when he caught Bucky's trail, he followed it rather than avoid it, following it to a bush where he could just make out the shadowed outline of an individual...

He could hear the other man's footsteps— he made himself listen for those sorts of noises. Bucky weighed in his mind, the advantages of trying to stay put and stay hidden versus giving himself up. But the truth was, he liked to charge into things.

"Who's there?" he asked, not coming out of his hiding spot quite yet.

Sherlock came to a halt as he was noticed, silent for a long pause. Considering.

"I'm not sure what answer you expect for that question," He said eventually. "Considering we're in a death match."

He didn't sound particularly concerned about it, though his hand lay in his pocket, the folding knife secured in his palm.

"If I was gonna try and kill you, I'd've done it already." That was true, Bucky was used to sneaking up on people and slicing them in the dark. But those people were Nazis. So that was different.

It had to be different, right?

"But maybe if you came charging at me I'd at least know you were coming."

This guy didn't sound like a Nazi.
