It would take incredible luck.

[No, hey, that was plenty of approval. He smiles appreciatively before hitting the bag with more speed and vigor, a few times this time around. It's a work in progress.]

[outstandingbalance]

Does seem unlikely to me, but I hear some people go their whole lives without serious fights.

[That was a long way from Natasha's life though.]

That's one heavy bag that won't try starting something else with you though.

[candothat]

Who are these people? I would like to meet them.

[Joking, joking. He knows that plenty of them exist, just... not usually in Starfleet. Or wherever Natasha's from, apparently.]

Thank you for helping me exact my revenge.

[outstandingbalance]

I couldn't just let you lose, could I? Not when we're practically family.

[A joke, remembering his comment about having relatives in Volgograd.]

[candothat]

The entirety of our family would have been shamed if you had let your cousin from two centuries in the future be defeated in battle by an inanimate object, true.

Would you consider offering sparring lessons? My captain wants to teach me, but I'd rather not have him witness my embarrassment.

[outstandingbalance]

I think we could work something out, as long as you realize I won't go easy on you.

[So he better be prepared to spend a lot of time hitting the mat is what she's saying.]

Who's your captain?

[candothat]

I wouldn't expect you to.

[Maybe it'd be a nice distraction from things like thoughts and feelings?]

James Kirk. I'm sure that you've spoken with him.

[outstandingbalance]

We've met. I beat him up a time or two.

[The best distraction from thoughts and feelings, honestly.

Maybe second best.]

I think I can teach you enough not to have to be embarrassed in front of him.

[candothat]

You beat him? I've never seen him lose. [Probably because Chekov hasn't seen Kirk get into any bar fights.] Not that I'm surprised that you can.

I would appreciate that, Natasha. I don't know what the normal fee to be thrown around in an educational way is, but I would pay whatever you think is fair.

[outstandingbalance]

Don't worry about paying me. I'm not hurting for credits, and it keeps me busy.

[candothat]

And throwing people around is its own reward, I would think.

[outstandingbalance]

I must enjoy it, as much as I do it. Maybe you're onto something.

[candothat]

I'm occasionally insightful.

There are worse hobbies to have, anyway.

[outstandingbalance]

Occasionally insightful, hm? I'll have to keep an eye on you in that case.
