A teacher. He can see it, although he's not sure if it's from the glimpses he got of Rogue when they met, or if he's thinking of Marie. Still. "I bet you're great at it. No matter how overwhelming it might get.
"I dunno. I've never been--" he gestures at his body, even though she can't see him, "--like this, strong and healthy, and not fighting. I was literally built to fight. I'm told I have a pretty good nest egg - they never took me off the army payroll, I guess." He has serious doubts about that, but he wasn't going to question Fury about it when it meant he was able to pay to take care of himself while he's still finding his way.
It chafes though, not having something to do. Not just physically, either; he was raised in a generation of hard workers. "I'm still learning a lot about... everything, really. Once I don't feel like such an idiot just trying to hold a ten-minute conversation with someone... Maybe I'll try taking up drawing again."
