I can show you some things, yeah. It's not a bad idea to know a little, just like having a knife near by.

[ He has to remind himself it isn't with the intent to turn her into a killing machine, but to pass on some of the knowledge he has and it's different than when he'd been put up against other Winter Soldiers to test their mettle or when he trained Black Widows. Self defense wasn't a bad thing, it was a smart thing. ]

I'm gonna need you to tell a friend of mine how much fun I am after all of this, 'cause he's convinced I suck all the fun out of things.

[ It's a joke, a lot like how the lighter interactions with Sam tended to be because they liked to rib each other, but he wants to prove to the other man that it wasn't him who was the problem. ]

I promise I won't stab you with it. Or my brothers. Or anyone really, unless they try to stab me first.

[ Or if she feels threatened. Not that there are a lot of things that she thinks are dangerous in the woods. Outside though... ]

Is it your friend Sam? I can text him now if you want.

[ She'll do it, she's not kidding. ]

If you were stabbing me, then you must've saw me as a threat and I'm not gonna pretend that's not a possibility.

But I'd heal fast anyway.

[ Not that he wants to be stabbed by her - it's the opposite - and he won't instantly heal but he also knows he's still a stranger. Something about him could make her think she's feeling threatened and he can't begrudge that kind of response, not when he knows what he's capable of. ]

I'll have you text him after. Knowing him, he'll try to talk you outta hanging out with me and I don't want that.

You, a threat? But you're just a funny man with a funny arm.

[ If everything he's said is true, anyway. She realizes it might not be. They've only just gotten acquainted, and over text too. She really shouldn't be trusting him that much that she's willing to go off on a roadtrip with him... and yet she does. Her instincts aren't yelling at her to back away and run. Weird. ]

How rude! He's just like my brothers. [ Which she supposes are just what boys are like? Trolling, ribbing, pranking... ] Well, he'll just find out that it's very hard to change my mind once I've made it up.
