[ yeah she's not too happy about what happened to Yelena either. ]
Nothing really to help with. The lounge is closed. Cleaning it will be an ongoing task until we can restock it during the next port. Whenever that will be.
[ as far as she's concerned the Admiral has no one's best interest at heart. in fact, there's far too many similarities that he shares with all the bad guys she's faced over the years which doesn't exactly lend well to any kind of glowing review.
just when Natasha thinks she can slowly wind up the conversation, and let Steve go back to resting, he circles back to personal again. ]
I'm tired. Mostly. Who isn't?
[ she sounds resigned and apathetic. she does sound tired, but also very much in her head. like she was when they ended up at Sam's place after almost getting killed by SHIELD missile. ]
[It's sad, but it's definitely the state that all the people he cares for and trusts are in, right now, and he considers that a compliment.]
More than physically, [he adds, and it's not quite a question, but more of a... statement. Observation. An attempt at a leading comment, before he starts to pry for real.
He suspects she isn't going to take the bait - it's Natasha, she'll see it a mile away - but he offers it, anyway.]

Probably gonna be just as glad as I am to hear you're in one piece.
[But yes, he definitely senses the shift away from the personal. He gets it. He wants to respect it. So, he'll give it a (very brief) try.]

[Particularly because he doesn't know if the Admiral's idea of helpful will match theirs, but it's not like anyone else has control of the ship.]
So, that's your job covered. What about you?
[Because that offer was about more than just the area of the Barge she oversees.]
