[widows_kiss]

[She laughs at his expression, but it's warm and bright, her green gaze amused, her grin quick as her breath puffs visibly in the cold morning air.]

So I can see. And well... That's usually enough for most people I meet through Clint. What is it you want to know?

[worldsaway]

[Thor can't help but think that grin is one of the most precious and endearing grins he's ever seen. He returns it with his own.] I'm not sure if I agree. It would be most difficult to miss such a beautiful head of such vibrant, red hair.

[He looks down as his arm is pet and nods, considering what she's said.]

If there ever comes a time when I am able to avenge you, I will take it without a second thought.

[250mhzwabl]

Preferably the things you can tell me without being obligated to kill me afterwards.

[He doesn't quite keep angling for laughs, but the lighter tone is comfortable, and besides, Natasha has a very pretty smile.]

Is the traditional where-you're-from safe?

[bionically]

[He’s surprised, unsure what to think at first when she laughs a little (however adorably) despite the solemn subject at hand – and for a fleeting moment he wonders if being a delivery girl is what she feels she was born to do.]

Thanks.

[He can’t remember what contributed to him expecting her to think him crazy and impulsive for risking life and limb time and time again, but he feels awash in a strange sort of relief that they are on the same wavelength.]

Do you see yourself being a delivery girl a few years from now?

[His tone is one of mild curiosity rather than being teasingly mocking.

[widows_kiss]

I think I can guarantee your safety there. [She casts him a wry grin, glancing at him from the corner of her eye.] You can ask. I won't always answer.

And relatively. I'm from Russia originally, if the name hadn't clued you in already. Volgograd. [Even if it had still been called Stalingrad when she'd been born there, and for more than half of her life. But that was more information than she intended to give.] Although I haven't lived there in a long time. I suppose New York City is the closest thing I call home now. I tend to move around quite a bit.

[aerialassault]

A monster that burns in the sun? That's pretty convenient...but why a desert? It doesn't seem like a good place for something like that to live.

[aerialassault]

I ain't a magician, kid. But, I can manage a thermos. It just doesn't sound all that...I dunno. Classy. Romantic.

[snikting]

You. Me. We find somewhere private. Let off some steam the old fashioned way.

[He wasn't interested in fighting her. She was an ally. He'd be holding back, so it would be as frustrating as the Dome, only in a different way. But there were other ways to release that kind of frustration.]

[aerialassault]

We get a ping pong table.

[windandrain]

[She really doesn't, but then again he doesn't know the full truth, does he? Danger and impulse are fun, and they make for a more interesting life. Besides, he's handsome...]

Of course. I don't know what else I'd do, honestly.

[Really, she does actually like driving the truck and dropping off packages. It's a little strange for a god to do, but it's fun, and the fresh air is good. And packages make people smile, which is something fun too.]

It's not about the money, and it's a way for me to make people happy. I think that's what's important.

[widows_kiss]

[Her lips quirk as she waves a finger at him, although she's charmed by his comments, her grin widening a hint.] Ah, but the trick to that is you first have to catch sight of that. I can blend in as well as I can stand out at times, if I want. Although there's usually not a whole lot of need for that here, I'm finding. Unless I'm sneaking up on Clint or Coulson somewhere. [Which she's known to do, on occasion. She has better luck with Clint. Coulson is always a challenge.]

Thank you for that, though. Hopefully there won't be many more things you need to avenge anyone for, although I appreciate the thought. Most days, things are pretty quiet around here.

[widows_kiss]

[One eyebrow arches up slightly] We're fabled already, are we? And yes, I suppose it does.

Has Tony been telling tales?

[widows_kiss]

I confess, Valentine's usually goes fairly unnoticed for me back home, other than as an excuse to indulge in a little chocolate. Here there's not much else to distract from it, however. [Not to mention all the strange... well. Strangeness. She was still trying not to think too hard about the feelings that had reared their head once more with a persistence that was more than a little distracting.]

And plans keep popping up, here and there. [Her lips quirk just the faintest bit.] I tend to be fairly flexible in them.

Re: [all days]

[widows_kiss]

[She leans back against her hands and considers that a moment.] Other than you and the maiden you're interested in, you mean. Other things standing in your way?

[13th]

[tailasoldastime]

I, I do? [There is someone out there who looks like him... like this?] I'm, uh... Beast...

[pendantry]

[Raven bristles at the very literal invasion of her space, trying to take a step back to match his move forward. It's about to get hot because she blushes red as a strawberry, trying to look put out instead of...okay with it. Why am I okay with it?]

What do you think you're doing?

[heavensmostwanted]

[Naoki thankfully takes a step back, breaking his thoughts. Well, he knew matters sometimes had to be taken into your own hands, but this was pushing it, a lot. His own face is a bit red.]

I was...just making sure you weren't sick or anything.

[Well, honesty was the only weapon he had at the moment.]

[pendantry]

I'm not. Why would I be here if-

[Oh. Right. Raven finds logic again and shakes her head.]

No, I'm not sick.

[heavensmostwanted]

That I can probably vouch for. Your skin wasn't hot like you had a fever or anything.

[Not gonna mention blush because he still kinda had one on his face.]

[rather_be_surfing]

They prey on humans, so they go where humans go. And we have a pretty decent amount of humans that live in the deserts where I come from.

[pendantry]

[It's not like he knows that she doesn't even go to the apothecary at home he hasn't met Marian, either, so coming to the battledome of all places about feeling sick would Just Not Happen.

So then why is she here? Raven may never know the answer now.]

It's not really your business. [Then, almost as if someone else is talking because she certainly isn't in control of this one:] What do those markings mean?

[heavensmostwanted]

[If she couldn't even remember why, something had to be wrong. Wasn't helping that his own mind was arguing with him. He could have just left, again, and leave her to her own thoughts. He didn't though, only raising an eyebrow when she questioned the tattoos.]

Why the sudden interest? [And yet when she should have inquired more, his mind suddenly thought for him.] They serve to display my own health. Physically anyway.

[And just like that, he wanted to smack himself. THAT WAS VITAL INFORMATION!]

[pendantry]

I just...they're okay. [She likes them. Rather suddenly and without warning, but it feels less and less unusual to think about.] So...how do you know if it's bad?

[heavensmostwanted]

[The once stoic and calm Naoki seemed a bit flustered. Outside of demons, who usually did it just to tease him, no one ever thought of him to be...interesting, or a specific part. First time anyone complimented the tattoos.]

Well, if they darken and turn red, that's one sign. I assume they just turn black if I ever die.

[pendantry]

[That could be useful, but they're on his face and he can't see them.]

Oh. [However strong these newfound feelings are, they don't really make her any more talkative.]
