She's listening carefully as Alice starts to explain something but then it's gone, and just like that she's being embraced by a stranger who's smaller than her yet hugs like she could easily crush Natasha if she really wanted to. "Oh - okay," the surprised utterance escapes her once she's wrapped up but Natasha does her best to be personable, hugging Alice back with a gentle pat on her back before she's released. She's practically the polar opposite of Jasper, it actually catches Natasha off guard how open and welcoming she is, and once her hand is taken she allows herself to be led over to the fireplace.
It's almost infuriating, how quickly Natasha likes her. The way that she moves, the way that she tucks her legs beneath her when she sits on the couch and looks so excited just to be around Nat, is quite simply adorable and Natasha can't stop herself from grinning as she sits beside Alice. She finally understands what Jasper meant, because he was right. Alice is much better at this, better than both of them apparently.
"Well I'm here now and I'm all yours," she replies with a pretty smile. It's easier to slip into that side of herself around Alice, Jasper always seem so unsure of himself and although Natasha would love to knock him off his game she's honestly not sure if he could handle it. She cares about him, though, and no matter where this road leads, Alice is his wife. She's important to Jasper in the way Pepper is important to Tony, and that makes her important to Natasha. Flirting is just an added bonus.
"So. You had a vision that Jasper was going to bring me home to you." She gives a playful wrinkle of her nose. "I've been told by a lot of people that I'm destined to spend my future with them, this one is definitely the most creative."
