[Some of that Natasha already knows. Not the details. Nothing so exact. But the broad strokes—she's heard some of it from Steve, seem some of the video.
She saw him after his time in Wakanda, which spoke volumes itself.]
I know that it is, but you're not saying anything that disputes my point. If you lose control, it will be because of an outside influence.

I consider that not an active threat.
no subject
Then you understand I'm no threat in the middle of a spar. I'm not going to just randomly go off. [He manages a little smirk.]
As long as you don't bite.
no subject
I believe that. Wouldn't be there if I didn't.
[She's not that reckless. Probably.]
I make no promises about biting, though.
no subject
At least if you bite, the results won't be destructive. Just have to call the spar off early.
[His mug is long forgotten, and he's just staring at her, watching her movements, her face, her eyes. Maybe that conversation with Fitz ran too long.]

[Obviously she doesn't want them to stop.]
Now that I know the effect it has on you.
no subject
So, to alert me when you're ready for other things, then?
We can probably wrap this one up pretty quickly too.
[She answers his smirk, her chin rising a tick in a playful challenge.]
Yes, agreed, or ftb they go off to have fun
[His chin rises in response.]
that's also good
no subject
[He gives her a teasing smirk. Regardless of her, or his, intentions, his mind keeps going back to where the whole conversation with Fitz put it.]
no subject
[She smiles, moving closer to him—touching his jacket.]
You don't think?
no subject
[His eyes flicker to her hand.]
You need this one, too? [He's not moving to get out of it right that second, but....]
no subject
Maybe I should try it on and see?
no subject
[He pulls away from the chair he's in so he can slip out of it, taking his time, as he hands it to her.]
no subject
Instead she eyes his shirt as though she might ask for it next.]
Maybe we should take this somewhere more private.
no subject
We should.
[He gets up after that.] And I thought I was only getting mugged.
ftb?
[She turns slowly, a little extra lift and sway in her step.]
Honestly, you should have known better. Nice boy like you in a place like this.
For sure, assuming they ever stop flirting
Nice boy? Don't mistake me for Steve.
[He follows, amused.]
They never stop
[Because they both know Steve is trouble, even if he is a nice boy.]
Yeah, no kidding
no subject
ftb?
