[Every plan she makes comes with that unspoken unless. There's an endless number of things that might come up. It makes it hard for her to be in the lives of normal people. Lucky, then, that most of the people in her life aren't normal. Except for her crotchety old neighbor that is by turns suspicious of Natasha and concerned for her well being.

Which, honestly, is a pretty fair assessment on a day to day basis.

Her brow quirks at his question, and she finally draws the lines between the different items he's requested. She lets out a quiet chuckle.]
We're not going to shock your landlord. Unless he pulls a gun on you. [She straightens up, ambling towards him with a thoughtful expression on her face. Finally, she gives him a grin.]

Let's start slow. He's a landlord, so the place that will hurt the most for you to hit him is in his wallet. I'll introduce myself as your lawyer. You glower. Maybe break something. [One shoulder lifts in an easy shrug.] We'll escalate from there if we need to. Maybe I can get him to forgive your rent for a few months. [It's a little left from the center of menacing, but she's confident in her assessment. People don't get into landlording because they don't want to rake in money hand over fist. Typically by any means necessary.

Something that she knows more than a little bit about.]
