The knocking comes from lower down on the door than Arthur expects (why is he kicking it?) - and there's a muffled back and forth between Arthur and his teenager for a good few seconds first - but it gets answered soon after, and it's Arthur that opens the door.
"Hey, Bucky. I- w-we weren't expecting you- come in, please!" It's easy to turn on the public face, easier than it has been in days, as he steps back to let Bucky in, and closes it behind them again.
He's certain John came over to watch, so he gestures idly to the kitchen. "John, this is Bucky. Bucky- my partner, John Doe."
