"The wolves? Oh, right, werewolves. Because werewolves are a thing, of course. How could I have already forgotten." Natasha's eyes move between Jasper and Alice for a moment before she gives a half shrug with a small nod. "I can come with you. And don't worry. I cheat too." Her smile is slow and sly as she watches him move to the stereo, and Natasha leans back into the couch. "The trick to that is to always feel confident. It's all personal emotional manipulation, maybe I'll show you some time when I get the chance to properly beat you in a game of poker."
She watches as Alice takes his hand and she grins, settling back into the couch as she watches the two of them move, and Natasha gives an impressed little applause as they begin to move in sync. She can't remember the last time she danced for the sake of dancing, when it wasn't at a gala or charity ball that she was forced to sell her own charm at. Beyond that she really can't remember the last time she did any swing dancing. It had to have been with Clint at a family event, but the necessity for it is much less in demand than, say, a proper waltz.
She waits, studying the way that they both move in order to gain a sense of how skilled they both are, and only then does Natasha feel comfortable removing her shoes and getting off the couch to approach them in the middle of their song. She gives Jasper a little tap on the shoulder to catch his attention, giving him a playful "don't be greedy" when he turns to look at her, and once he steps back Natasha takes Alice's hand only to pull her into a quick spin.
She's rusty to her own standards but she can still deliver, and she can still lead as she moves with Alice to the sound of drums and saxophone. As the song progresses so does her movement until she's stepping rapidly with the beat, and despite the fact that Alice is taller Natasha has no problem lifting her off of her feet when the dance calls for it. By the end of it she's laughing, genuinely laughing before she spins, red hair a curtain behind her, to look up at Jasper. "Not bad," she decides, tilting her head to the side a little as she looks back at Alice with a playful smile. "I might just keep you two."
She reaches up run a finger under Jasper's chin, other hand reaching out and grabbing Alice's suddenly to spin her into Natasha's side and hold her properly. "When did you want to go talk to the wolves?"
