"If I thought you were even a little bit serious, I'd take you out now just to save you from further embarrassment." The corner of her mouth lifted as she looked over at him before she settled back in her crouch. She took turns flexing and focusing on each muscle group in her body -- like relaxation meditation, only for the purpose of keeping things from falling asleep. She watched him shift, knowing it was likely for the same effect.
Natasha ran on the basis of 'need to know'. She'd hold mission specifics from people she thought might compromise them, but if she felt it would garner full participation, she'd share what was needed. Keeping him in the dark would just breed disdain on his end and there was no way she was having backup she couldn't trust to watch her back. So she'd rather have him a little in the know and happy than ignorant and spiteful.
