"Oh, I knew better." He says with a small huff, relaxing for a moment instead of mentally trying to watch his steps.
Her question catches him off guard. He's thought about it, of course, but he's not sure if he has an answer just yet. He's still a soldier, through and through, but he's not sure how he fits into things without a war. Still, it seems as if Peggy's made a place for herself, and she's more of a soldier than half the men he trained with. Then, there's the Howling Commandos. Still running operations as far as Howard knows. But they're led by Dugan now. He'd never try to take his place.
"I'm not sure," he admits, looking down at her. He's not entirely sure if she's asking for herself or for the organization. "Do you think they're in need of a serum enhanced soldier?"
He tightens his hand on hers. "With the two of you, I don't think it's possible for me to fail." It still hurt, waking up and realizing that Bucky was gone. But the relief that had come from seeing Howard's face again. At seeing Peggy... it had reminded him of just how lucky he was to be getting a second chance.
