"Great, you can tell me some of the best ones next time I see you." Natasha delivers the response easily, in a way that makes it clear that she's not actually going to hold him to that. Though her eyebrow does arch, just a bit, in a way that makes it seem like there could also be a challenge inherent in her words. If he wants to accept it.
She watches the way that Bucky tends to Alpine, and her mouth twitches to the side as she tries not to smile. It's pretty obvious that he's already taken with the cat. It's hard not to feel a little bit smug for bringing the two of them together. But mostly, it's just sort of...nice, to see that the cat is something that has the potential to make him happy. Might already have him on the road there, even. She's spent so much of her life doing terrible things. Being able to counteract it with something like this is worth more than she would or could put into words. Especially knowing first hand how hard it is to come back to the world after being used as a weapon for so long.
Liho is balanced lightly, back paws on one shoulder and front paws on the other. She can feel the way the cat's weight shifts as she peers around her head to watch Alpine, letting out an answering mrrow? in response to Alpine's little sounds of curiosity. Natasha's eyes shift, studying Bucky's expression thoughtfully for a moment as she considers the best way to introduce the cats. Considering Liho is (was?) a street cat, and Alpine had been in a shelter, she doesn't think there's any particular worry about them not already being socialized. Nor is Liho particularly territorial of her space.
"I think we should just hang out and let them approach each other when they're ready." One shoulder lifts just a fraction in a shrug so as to not disrupt the feline perched there. "Come on, you've got a mixed drink to try. You good with the maple bourbon smash?"
