[Natasha listens to Steve's story patiently, keeping any judgment off her face. She might wince slightly at the word "honor." Such a strange word when you're a woman like them. It's a neutral wince, as much sympathy for Steve as for Peggy.

When he trails off, she sighs a little.]

It sounds like you've already done damage control. [She says it helpfully, taking in his pleading eyes. Amazing that Captain America can be so unsure what to do because of one woman.

Not just any woman, to be fair. But still a woman.]

She just needs some time. Women like us, we're not exactly used to men showing concern over our virtue.

The most important thing is to be clear you want her as she is. And I think it's clear you do.

[Then offering a little smile:] And next time, let her worry about her own honor.

All in all, it could have been much worse.

[ and it's said with a smile. ]

She shot at me once, you know.

Did you deserve it?

[It's worth asking. Steve very well might have.]

It's starting to sound like this is part of a pattern.

[ ok, hold on - ]

Is there a list of things a woman ought to shoot a fella about?

[ is there a code he's unaware of or something? ]

Not an official list, but I'm sure if we got together to chat about it, we could come to a consensus.
