Steve doesn't press for the story, but even what Bucky gives him is telling and not just about Alex. Either Bucky is someone who can't be bought or he dislikes Alex enough that he can't be bought by Alex. The more Bucky reveals of himself, the more Steve has a good feeling about him. Regardless of the circumstances that got them here, Steve would like to think he has some integrity and Bucky certainly seems like he has his own share of it, too. Maybe he really did luck out with his cellmate.

"No Twilight, then? I'm sure I'll make do." He glances into the library with a private little smile and thinks he might actually spend some time here. It's quiet and reading is probably the best source of entertainment he'll get. "There's plenty of older books that are worth reading, right?"

Maybe he'll luck out and they'll have some books he'll need to read for school when he gets back to it, but even if they don't, reading for pleasure isn't a half bad hobby to pick up if he's going to be here with all this personal time and no access to the internet or television. It seems like there's not much other than reading or social activities like cards. Steve's not averse to socializing a little, but he likes having self-motivated hobbies, too.
