You sell yourself short. You're a very interesting woman and I like to be entertained. Want to do it over coffee?

[evreica]

I didn't think to count myself among the offerings. Coffee sounds good, though I'm more of a tea drinker myself.

[blacksky]

Then you underestimate yourself. [Elektra shrugs.] I could go for tea too.

[evreica]

Old habits, etcetera. [That's how it goes, right? Wanda's having to work pretty hard to stay nonchalant at this point, honestly, but she's trying.] Whichever. When would you like?

[blacksky]

How's tomorrow for you?

[evreica]

I can make tomorrow work.

[blacksky]

I'll see you then, darling.

[evreica]

I'm not often anyone's darling. I don't mind it.

[blacksky]

More reason to spend time with me after this.

[evreica]

If I didn't know better I'd think this was flirtation.

[blacksky]

I'd never flirt with an Avenger. What's the sense in that?

[evreica]

I am not an Avenger anymore. I barely ever was.

[blacksky]

Why would you say that? They gave you a pretty name and outfit. Isn't that all there is to it? [Now she's being intentionally dumb here. She knows better than that.]

[evreica]

If only it was so simple. [She shakes her head.] With the name and the costume, they expected a blind trust that I was not willing to give.

[blacksky]

[Elektra smiles. She loves that answer.] Then you're smarter than most including them.

[evreica]

I'm not sure about smarter. Warier, perhaps.

[blacksky]

It's a good way to be. You'll be less likely to die.

[evreica]

Less likely doesn't mean there's a guarantee.

[blacksky]

There are no guarantees in anything. We make our own luck.

[evreica]

Then I must be very bad at it.

[blacksky]

Possibly, but you can always improve with the right teacher.

[evreica]

Would that be you?

[blacksky]

It could be. Interested?

[evreica]

You do seem the good kind of bad influence. [Obviously a compliment.]

[blacksky]

The only kind worth anything.
