that was steve's theory about me, too
he didn't say it outright but i know that's what he thought

[vestments]

Rogers is astute.
He was more blunt with me.

[redhourglass]

it was a tough time
pretty sure he was trying to avoid having a peanut butter sandwich thrown at his head, too

( which is probably different from how marc thinks of steve rogers )

[vestments]

As far as those things go, could be worse.

[redhourglass]

you clearly haven't ever tried to wash peanut butter out of your hair

[vestments]

Dishwashing liquid.

[redhourglass]

dawn, the blue kind
just like the baby ducks

[vestments]

I don't look at the brands.
I used to leave all of that to my housekeeper.

( and these days he just
buys whatever because shopping for essentials and groceries is both the worst and really not a 'marc spector needs to worry about this' kind of thing. )

you must be so bereft here

[vestments]

No, actually.
Marc Spector lost a lot of his money a few years ago.

The IRS are about as big a fans of me as my ex-accountant.

( ah — a puzzle piece slides into place. marc spector, like he’s someone else. speaking in the third person isn’t unheard of but — )

mr grant must have hated that

( not that “steven grant” had been the biggest marc spector fan when she’d spoken to him before. )

oh. )

[vestments]

Steven hates a lot of things.

[redhourglass]

let me guess
he’s a fan of the art gallery
and not so big a fan of moon knight

[vestments]

The art gallery was always

( (give him a second.)
(this is awful.) )

in Spector's name.
A couple of other business ventures too.

Moon Knight hardly suits Grant's image.

( #nailingit )

[redhourglass]

( if she were … well, just if she WAS — she’d have words for all this. as it is, she takes his lead: )

grant mention he and i had a chat?

[vestments]

Why would he?

[redhourglass]

just curious
didn’t seem worth mentioning on my end either until now

[vestments]

If you spoke enough to know he's not a fan of Moon Knight, then you spoke enough to know he's not a fan of me, either.

[redhourglass]

funny enough, that did come up

It's impolite to gossip, Natasha.

[redhourglass]

( THAT’S what he has to say to all this?? )

i thought i was talking to you
people tend to remember when they’ve tried to kill me

[vestments]

( what is he supposed to say? )

Steven didn't try to kill you.

And neither did I, for that matter.
