Natasha is normally on assignment, but sometimes she comes into the office, mostly when Fury does not have her elsewhere. She is not always loved at HQ, but at least she is usually feared by those that bother to think bad thoughts and have the clearance to know anything about her. She is currently having a sub sandwich in the situation room and watching the reports come in as she sits at one of the work stations while some of her requisitions are being readied.
~
Melinda May arrives with a meal of her own, on base between transport runs based on her current attire. She claims a chair a respectful distance from Romanoff and offers the red-haired agent a simple nod before turning her attention to the same incoming reports and her seriously leafy salad. With … bacon. And hard boiled eggs.
~
Natasha returns the nod as she punches up Latviria, zooming in the sat sweeps over the capital city, "Agent May, I trust you have been well?" she says as she moves her roast beef sandwich up for a bite, a hand absently moving the view over the city, then zooming into a few cafes at street view. She makes a couple of notes on a pad about the locations and appearance.
~
"Mm," May offers in affirmative around a bite of her salad, her own eyes following the scrolling news reports and not really focusing on any one thing. Not at the moment anyway. "Busy. You?"
~
"Just a little travel here and there." Natasha replies in a sightly enigmatic tone before clearing the map from the screen. "How is Coulson doing these days? You two still work together from time to time?" she asks as she turns her gaze over to the other woman and studies her briefly.
~
"Fine," May replies to the question about Coulson, being her usual ever-so-chatty self. "And yes, when our assignments mesh." Her eyes flick over to study Natasha for a moment, though it's more to see if there's anything in particular that the assassin might be trying to lead this conversation toward than to size up the other agent. They got over that a long time ago.
~
Natasha hardly seems to be doing anything but chatting at the moment, though with her reputation it would not really be expected she has any tells or difficulty lying with as much sincerity as speaking the truth. Still, it could just be a rare chance for her to speak to someone else in Fury's inner circle. "That is good to hear. I have been meaning to seek a little more domestic work."
~
Melinda May nods for a moment. "If you get some time between away missions, there are recruits to break in and agents needing to be certified for field work." And seriously. Fitz and Simmons are truly WORK in that respect. "Wouldn't hurt to have another helping with the training."
~
"I will see if I can get a little free time before I leave again." Natasha says in a pleasant tone. Her fingers strum across the keys as she speaks. "Though I would have to warn you Agent May, I am not always a great trainer. my own training was… Different. I can try though."
~
"Understood." May spends a few moments finishing her salad. "Even just some suggestions of mission scenarios to run would be a help." She looks at Natasha for a moment, then gathers up her salad dish as she moves to stand. "Some of the new recruits have extensive training already, but seriously lack in teamwork."
