[She doesn't recognize him, but she manages not to show too much surprise at a child catching up with her so easily.

Not to say she's not surprised.

But she doesn't show it easily.]


If you want to, I won't stop you.

Cool!

[It's okay, Natasha; most people don't recognize him.

He usually just starts anew, with his memories his own quiet secret.

Though he did admit he knew Kate -- and it ended up a discussion of you and certain archers and somehow devolved into Kate joking about Clint falling on his own arrow? While painting Takeshi's nails an awesome purple color. Yeah, it was an odd conversation.]


I don't run a lot! Unless something with lots of teeth chases me!

But it's important to stay good at it...!

You better be good at it when something with teeth is does chase you.

[Is that encouraging? It might be meant to pass for encouragement, anyway.]

Though you seem to be doing okay.

[Considering the people he's grown up with on the last ship?

You're doing great, to be honest.]


You think so?? Thank you! I don't run as fast as I used to, but it's better than not running good at all!

Watch this!

[He totally does a forward flip, landing back on his feet to keep running.

Way to stick the landing. [She says it with a smile, her reaction not entirely feigned. It's an impressive maneuver, especially at his age.

She gives the suit a look.]


You do that often?

Yup!

I go to the gym every day! It's really important to be in the best shape, don't you think so?

I can't argue it. I know I try to.

[Only a brief pause, and then:]

How old are you?

Seven, miss! I think. It's hard to keep track 'cus I don't remember my birthday!

And I keep going all over the place in space.

[HUFFFFFF]

It's real annoying!

You know the good part about not knowing your birthday is getting to make one up.

[Says a woman who knows a thing or two about making up your history.]

Pick a day you like and go for it.

Hm... Okay! Today's my birthday!

[He says it with such hardened sureness!

But then he's giggling after so giddily.]


But maybe I should wait 'til I'm here for a whole year.

Why? Unless you already celebrated, seems like today's as good as any day.

I guess so... I feel like I'm real small to be eight... I should grow a few inches first...

[oh lord takeshi that's not how going up in age works

But he runs in intensely thoughtful silence for a moment.]


Okay! I guess I can be eight! What's today?!

[I'LL BE A JULY BABY.]

[No reason that can't be how it works from Natasha's perspective. She's seen less reasonable thought processes when it comes to lying about age.]

I think, from what I've heard, it should be about mid July.

[personal profile] throwsdown 2016-08-01 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Alright!! Mid-July, that can be it! That's my birthday...!

[He puts out a hand, clearly going for a high-five.]

Mid-July!

[Sure kid, have a high-five.]

Now you'll have to decide what you want for our birthday.

[Hmm...! Running and thinking at the same time garners a response - ]

I already know what I want most I can't have, but...

But we could have some cake! I like cake.
