[It's a good thing that the cold December air has already colored his cheeks, hiding the soft blush that her words implied meaning. It's not that he doesn't know he's pleasing to eyes, he's rational enough to admit that, but James doesn't think he'll ever get used to hear about it.]
Sure, [he says as he exchanges the champagne for her gift, opening it carefully while she works on the bottle. He smiles a bit more widely when he figures out what her gift is: he might now be from the 40s, he still tries to keep up with technology, especially when it comes to weapons. And HYDRA had always made sure that his skills matched the advancement in weaponry anyway.]
Thank you Nat. Now I can bring everyone else to my technological level, [he jokes lightly, though his tone is grateful. This he can certainly use in fight one day.
He careful puts the EMP device and picks up the case he brought with him, offering it to her once she's opened the champagne bottle. The only wrapping on it is a red bow, but inside the case is what he promised: a brand new rocket launcher. Except that instead of being painted army green, its entirely repainted back, with subtle accents of red. With it comes a few different launching heads, giving many options should Nat ever needed it.]
It's not Soviet-made, though. I wasn't sure you'd want something from Russia. And I definitely did not want to shake old contacts for it. Hope that's okay.
