Movement from the corner of her eye caught her attention and almost on instinct Natalie reached out her hand, allowing Lucius to take her hand in his. She turned her head to look at him a small smile playing on her lips as her eyes caught his. Her expression mirrored his, stoic and unreadable but she could sense the anxiety within him, could read the telling signs that only those nearest to a person could possible know and she knew that he could read her too. It still shocked her sometimes how easy everything was with Lucius and how easily it came to them both. It took her awhile to warm up to Albie initially all those years ago but maybe it is because of him and the position he got Nat to in her life that allowed her to be a bit more open with Lucius but regardless of the how's and why's she felt safe with him, a safeness she had rarely felt before.
Natalie bit her lip as the attention was then brought onto her. She stayed silent for a moment as she collected her thoughts and tried to figure out how she did actually feel about it all. "Umm" Natalie shrugged slightly "Look I honestly don't know, they seemed alright and it felt legit. They all have stuff to gain by actually winning this, they get their lives and identities back it's a pretty big reward" a thoughtful tone could be heard in voice as she spoke "but then again you can't really trust anyone" she leaned back into the seat as she spoke the last part, her voice was calm as though stating just a natural fact but it was more than that. Trust had to be earned for Natalie after all she had found out the hard way that not everyone could be trusted, not even those that are meant to care for and love you.
As Natalie tried to break herself away from forgotten thoughts, Archer's voice broke through and Natalie couldn't help the small amused laugh that fell from her lips. She turned to look at the boys in the backseat, amusement obvious on her expression before she turned back towards Lucius, a compassionate look now drawn on her features. Using her free hand she patted Lucius' arm as she spoke with the most motherly voice she could muster. "Its ok love, change is hard but we're here for you"
Nat gave Lucius' hand a little squeeze and winked at him before sitting back in her seat comfortably and amused. "But I think they need us to take down the Carters and we may need them too so I think for now we do what Alex says and try get act nice" she said, she quickly looked around to see everyone's reaction before her attention landed on Albie "what about you Albz your staying awfully quiet"
