[It's been a while, Red Fish, but Natasha Romanoff hasn't forgot that she's got people here to check in on.

She'll be in the kitchen waiting. She figures Carl will come through eventually. If she runs into anyone else while she's waiting, that's fine too.

Where do you kids keep your coffee?]

[searingedgelord]

[Velvet spends a lot of time in the kitchen for someone who can't taste anything. She's maybe a bit surprised to see Natasha there.]

Do you just show up in everyone's kitchen?

[She remembers that time she was hanging out in the Starstruck's kitchen, too]

[outstandingbalance]

It's a good place to wait for people. Less awkward than sitting around in someone's bedroom.

[searingedgelord]

...I guess.

[She'd definitely prefer Natasha ninjaing into kitchens than bedrooms]

Who are you waiting for?

[outstandingbalance]

Carl. We have a standing training date, at least when no planets are exploding and no one's trying to eat us.

[searingedgelord]

That so?

[Hm.

Not that Velvet is an overprotective big sister type, but she's totally an overprotective big sister type.

And she's not sure how she feels about that.

Although she knows Carl can actually hold his own in a fight. He's proved that.

But still.

Hm.]

[outstandingbalance]

It is. [Oh, Velvet.] Just some pointers. Self-defense, mostly.

[searingedgelord]

[hmmmm.]

I guess it can’t hurt.

[outstandingbalance]

You could always test him out a little, see if you approve.

[searingedgelord]

Carl’s not the one who needs my approval.

[outstandingbalance]

Is that so? Which mean me, hm?

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, that's right.

[Look she's been around awhile but she doesn't really know what Natasha is capable of. Aside from ninjaing into kitchens. And trolling.]

[outstandingbalance]

[Are those not impressive enough.]

Well. I suppose I'm not much compared to some of the people in the fleet, but I do all right for someone who's not a super soldier or an alien.

[postocular]

[ Well, she's definitely not wrong. Hopefully she's not waiting too long when he finally shows himself, intent on getting something to eat. He doesn't expect her to be sitting there waiting, and he wracks his brain to figure out if he missed something. ]

Hey, Natasha.

[outstandingbalance]

Hey. [It could be she's been waiting a while. She doesn't seem bothered by it, though.] Coffee? Or are you too young for that.

[postocular]

I'm not 'too young' for coffee, I just don't like it much. Or I haven't found what works, I guess.

[outstandingbalance]

My mistake. I'd offer you some, but if it's not your thing...

[Even though it's technically his coffee.]

So how are you doing? It seems like it's been a little while since we just hung out.

[postocular]

[ He moves to sink down in a chair across from her. ] Better, I think.

[ There's a brief pause, a quick quirk of his lips. ] Maggie's back.

How are you?

[outstandingbalance]

Doing all right. I have a friend who showed up too—he's a good guy, if you run into him.

[And also missing an eye? So how about that.]

Thor?

[postocular]

I haven't, no.

..Wait. Thor like.. God of thunder? [ He is very skeptical, okay? ]

[outstandingbalance]

Basically. It's a little more complicated than that, but the guy the story was based off of.

[postocular]

Oh..[ A beat. ] Cool.

[outstandingbalance]

Cool? [Okay, kid. Okay.] I'll have to tell him it takes more than that to impress you.

[postocular]

I mean, I'd have to see for myself, you know! You could be fibbing.

[outstandingbalance]

Could be. I am an accomplished fibber.
