[poppycock]

( wow, fitz, what were you doing in here. it doesn't look chaste.

regardless, klaus has no shame if an illicit moment or two was what he was after. he strolls in, grabs leopold's arm in an unbreakable grip, and makes to drag him out, no matter his dishabille. ) It's also polite to stay in your cage.

( at the doorway, he gestures to natasha. ) I believe you know Ms. Romanoff.

[ He tries to struggle at first. He hasn't had enough time yet. There isn't a scar, or even as much as a bruise. There ought to be a mark, somewhere, indicating where his heart used to be. He intended the moment to be careful and methodological, not like this.

Struggling is impossible, however. It takes minimal effort to drag him out into the open. He scowls at the sight of Natasha. SHIELD too ? He knew they were colluding. ]

The Black Widow is prone to betrayals. You might want to reconsider trusting her.

[poppycock]

( good. he may or may not have introduced them to confirm or deny what natasha has told him and perhaps to glean some other bits of information. he believes leopold, quite honestly, completely; if not the simplicity of what he says or his motives, than the impression.

'black widow' is certainly a telling moniker.

his hand tightens around leopold's arm, keeping him a few scant inches away, and looks down his nose at him. ) Shall I? She's been leagues more helpful than you, so you'll forgive me my reluctance to heed your warning without a grain of salt.

( he turns to natasha, and sincerely, he says, ) Thank you.

You're welcome. [Not without some reservations, but she does mean it. The most important part is getting Fitz back into custody. She doesn't know what the heart business is about, but at least in theory she imagines Freya would be better equipped to answer any questions about what's going on.

She's still not sure what she saw—or what it means.] Be careful with him.

[hypoxic]

[ the tightness around his arm is. a power play. Klaus is trying to assert dominance. The doctor continues scowling, despite his own lack of viable options. His focus, though, lingers on Natasha. ]

Do your people miss their service mule? It must be a drain to so understaffed.

[outstandingbalance]

[His jab misses its mark, further driving home just how thoroughly this Fitz misapprehends his other self's life and relationships. It's sad, but Natasha's not about to cry over it.]

I will miss these little talks.

[poppycock]

( neither is klaus about to waste his tears. he tugs at fitz's arm to quell his snide attitude and addresses natasha. ) I'm sure I'll be seeing you. ( if it sounds a little ominous, it's because despite his gratitude, he doesn't consider their introduction done.

in the blink of an eye, both he and leopold have disappeared down the hall. )
