"You're right about that. Not everyone appreciates the effort." Talking around the issue is more in Natasha's comfort zone than she likes to admit. When Agent Carter was in the Fleet, they'd used to circle each other in conversations like a pair of cats—until it got Steve lost patience with both of them.

She thinks Barnes is less likely to snap and demand they speak plainly.

"A lot of them don't get that the struggle is part of the reward," she says. "Seeing where your effort gets you."

"They don't." A more honest answer than he'd normally give, but the fact that she isn't pushing leads him to admit it. He's still not sure why she's bothering at all, save for the effort they're so determined to discuss as the view midway through a hike and nothing more.

It's easier, this way.

"Why should they see it?" He shrugs and looks out at the view; the landscape looks a lot different from up here than from standing on the ground but with the way this world has been tended so carefully, the ground view offers up its own beauty. "If they have everything they want out of something more easily obtained, what need is there for the effort?"

"And miss out on this?" She keeps her eyes on the horizon as she says it, but the meaning is clear. She leans back on her rock for a moment, chin up, a little bit of a smile touching her lips. She's not sure what else there is to say. "The view's different every time."

She huffs and rolls off the rock and back to her feet, stretching her legs in a quick recovery from her less than cushy perch. "Still got a ways to go, though."

"As I said," he replies slowly; there's really no mistaking her meaning at all. "They just don't think it's worth the effort." He's not sure at all how to feel about the potential implication that she might; it's something he's going to have to digest and compare it to his own view of their situation.

He steps back as she slides off the rock, but it's a simple slide, not a more acrobatic flip needing room. "Guess I'll have to get you a coffee sometime. For sharing the view." It's an awkward thing, not really an invitation but not not an invitation, and she'll probably be able to read that awkwardness clearly. But it calls back to their previous interaction and how he'd refused her own offer of the same.
