Despite the instant urge to give Seth a look at the immediate protest Natasha manages to bite her tongue, and she allows Jasper to take control of the conversation once more. It's easier to take the back seat when she trusts the person she's with, and that's a rare opportunity for Natasha. Might as well take advantage of it.
"It was nice to meet you as well Seth." Another polite smile and then the boy is off, and she waits silently for Jasper to speak before giving a single nod. Her eyes linger on the spot where the boy disappeared into the woods, and it takes her a few moments to finally respond.
"Just once I want to wake up and find out that the most complicated thing going on about my day is that I forgot to go grocery shopping. But, no. Werewolves. That's fine too." She sighs, turning to lean up and kiss Jasper on the cheek before she starts to head back to the jeep. "Come on, I need to shower. Seth was nice but I need to get the residue of Leah's glare off of me."
Once they get back to the house she showers, and the day goes by somewhat painlessly. She spends the day distracted though, the look on Jasper's face at the mention of her code name one that she can't seem to wipe from her minds eye, and although a part of her knows that he'd never press, another part of her is more than aware that the rest of the family could have watched the news while they were all separated. Jasper and Alice are going to find out about her past at some point, and by the time night comes she decides that she rather it come from her than anyone else.
So after she changes into sleep sleep shorts Natasha walks downstairs, and this time she doesn't hesitate to drape herself across both Jasper and Alice, her head in Alice's lap and her legs stretched across Jasper's. "What are the chances that your family watches television or reads the paper?" She does her best to sound casual, but she's nervous. Whether it shows or not, she's unsure. "...They might not like me very much."
