[ It's -- flattering, he supposes that might be the right word, that she cares enough that she'd lost control. He does think of her as a friend, even if he'd never quite realized it up til now ( he doesn't think about these things, not really ) and if it was him, well, maybe he'd be the same too. But there's no real need for him to express that, is there? A lot of things pass between them without words. He likes that.
And it's a interesting too that it's clear the reason Kurt has caught her attention is because of the knowledge that he might be from his world -- a friend, hah, god, not a friend at all. With anyone else, he would say not to tell Kurt about what he is, about York, but Natasha knows that already, of course. Surely. A shake of his head. ]
I only know he's on the base because of York. [ York had arranged to meet him in the village sometime, apparently, something that Wash still highly disapproves of, but well. ] Kurt is from our world, but not a friend, far from it. He's a Spartan. Another supersoldier program, from our dear men of vision. Genetic engineering, biological augmentations. Probably nullified, just like yours.
I wouldn't trust him. [ Flatly. Spartans, to Wash's mind, are fucking dangerous. Monsters bordering on inhuman -- but not monsters like him or Natasha, no. Monsters in a different way. Brutal, efficient, and loyal to a fault, thats what they were made for. To take orders, to execute orders. And the Cetagandans, he thinks, would fit right into that mold. There's a look in his eyes, too, when he says that, he knows that Kurt will have those augmentations lost in common with you, Natasha, but no, don't trust him, be careful. ] But he'd have a similar implant to what I have.
[ The conclusion he has from that, he leaves unsaid, trusts Natasha to see it on her own. Information about his implant had been pried from him to aid the Cetagandans in their research, and thus he's sure that Kurt would be useful the same way. ]
If we can sway him, I'd rather him over here. [ Not for his sake, no, but here where they can keep a fucking eye on him, where they wouldn't have to fight a Spartan on the other side, where his orders that he always follows can come from Piotr rather than from Zahal -- and because Kurt would have information about his world, about their world, that he'd rather the Cetagandans not have. ] Stay safe, be careful, but do what you can, with that one.
