Her heartbeat was impressively low and steady, despite the fighting he’d heard on approach. A professional, then, and a very good one if the number of men he heard her take down was any indication. Hopping down the fire escape behind her, he offered her a smile, just a flash of teeth between the black mask and the black suit. 

“I was coming to help, but it seems as if you had it handled. Welcome to the Kitchen, Black Widow.” An educated guess, now that he was close enough to smell leather and the tang of electricity from what he assumed were her widow bites. 

Admittedly, he wasn’t too excited by someone else coming into his territory, but he wouldn’t cause a fuss about it right now. “If you’re searching for someone on the docks, careful. They tended to be quite crowded with mobsters and smugglers alike.” There was an implied question there, of why she was in the Kitchen.

@tormentbled​, yes ma’am one starter ma’am.

“don’t call me ungrateful to theo, i’m glad he’s letting us use this place, but...ugh.” though he hadn’t said outright what the issue was, the crinkle of his nose and the rather green pallor of his skin should be a hint. he doubted that the smell was strong enough for anyone else to have to deal with it, but a butcher’s shop didn’t exactly equate a field of flowers for someone who could smell it all. it wasn’t the meat itself or even the blood, but chemicals and preservatives and just...dirt, that were making him nauseous every time he stepped into the office. 

he’d taken to hovering closer than usual to karen because of it. and though she hadn’t commented on it yet, he’d be surprised if she hadn’t noticed. karen smelled nice, and close enough to her, he could barely smell the gross over her perfume and shampoo and just...karen scent. he wasn’t going to say that though. she and foggy had both reacted poorly to the knowledge of his ability to hear their heartbeats; he couldn’t imagine either appreciating the knowledge that he could smell down to their skin. “let’s go out to lunch. i don’t think i can stand to actually eat here.”
