[ Oh, okay. Still kind of sad then. But in a way they're both more than familiar with. Wash lifts his head to watch her when she goes to speak with the villager, giving the fence a few more careful checks and neatly keeping away the tools they were given by the time Natasha returns. There's a smile, there, warm and genuine when she returns, and for everything else this meeting may be about between them, Wash is honestly just glad to see her.

He's been worried for her. Not that he doubt she's capable, oh he knows she is -- but he's always been a worrier, not to mention how he still remembers the way she'd tensed up in that room, Diya's voice clear and calm, and Wash might hate the idea of Natasha still being there near any one of them. And especially since, if she means to stay there to inform, well. There's probably going to be a lot more of that.

When Natasha moves over to her, he reaches out, catching her hand, light and playful but with a tinge of something else, lacing their fingers together as he draws her to his side. He turns his head, leaning close just enough to murmur against her ear. ]


Where to?

[ Somewhere quiet, somewhere private, somewhere they can talk. What comes to mind immediately for Wash is the woods around the village, but if Nat knows somewhere else that might be a little safer, Wash's all for it. ]
