He reminds himself of the news coverage, that this man's just lost his father, and that a king's probably got to be at least as arrogant as Thaddeus Ross just to get by in the world.

It doesn't help much. With an effort, Bucky keeps his tone mild. "I'm not here for vibranium," he says. "The Avengers don't want it. I'm here as a liaison from them to assist the Task Force in apprehending Ulysses Klaue, because the illegal weapons trade thing's a problem and he doesn't get to do that any more. Especially not with vibranium."
