[Bucky isn't the most talkative individual at any time, but he's totally silent as Orpheus begins his rendition of Hades and Persephone. At first, he expects the other man to just tell him a brief summation of the story, a snapshot in a few words, but it becomes obvious pretty quickly that he's getting a detailed retelling of the tale.
It's... strange. Not just the story itself, which has echoes of familiarity that suggest he's definitely heard it somewhere before. But for the tale being told. He doesn't think anyone has told him a story like this since he was a boy, and he finds that he's utterly enraptured. A stirring in him of excitement, long buried, for someone who used to love hearing stories, reading fantastical tales, and dreaming of the legends they spoke of.
His expression doesn't alter much, a slight softening that suggests he's enjoying the tale, but his eyes are blazing with focus and interest, fixed hard on Orpheus' face. It takes him a moment when the flow of the story pauses to realise that Orpheus is waiting for a reaction, for him to say something.]
Don't stop.
[He probably should be asking questions, or giving his opinion on the characters themselves. Those two little words are inadequate. But he doesn't want to break the spell of the story, the flow of it, by inserting his voice into the proceedings. He just wants to hear what happens.]
