Save for Natasha's continued attempts to find him a girl, her suggestions of many of SHIELD's non-combat ladies mixed with agents who weren't too far removed from themselves by SHIELD protocol and a few women here and there wholly unconnected (or so he had thought) from the agency, Steve could not think of the last time he had talked about a woman with a friend and it been so...easy. His grin then was reflexive, though he had to acknowledge he had done nothing by way of speaking to Sif that had been anything but friendly, more often the speech shared by soldiers than a fella looking at a pretty dame.

That might have been the key to it, now that he thought about it.

He nodded, "She is." A fact which spurred on the thought that he likely needed to speak to Thor about it, out of common courtesy rather than in asking for permission to be interested in the other man's friend. Somehow he was sure Sif might just knock him into next week if he thought of asking someone else permission to speak to her. "Her right hook is a thing of beauty, Sam, and you should see her move."
