Natasha is almost 100% certain that Loki being her drinking buddy is baffling to at least half the people she knows. But it's thanks almost entirely to the fact that she's pretty sure she's figured him out. Or mostly figured him out. He's not inherently evil, he's just inherently an absolute shit.
And she's spent the better part of the last decade wrangling Clint Barton. She knows how to get along with absolute shits.
The only difference this evening is that she has very clear instructions that she will be the one hitting the drink a little harder than strictly necessary. She gives him a dour look as she knocks back a shot of vodka. Her mouth is curled in a half smirk as she sets the glass down.
"When I said you were paying tonight, I meant with your own money."
