[When she offers her hand he extends his and laces his fingers through hers, giving them a little squeeze to indicate his appreciation at her support and understanding.]
I'm happy to have found someone who mistrusts the government as much as I do, but we're dipping into morose topics and I'd rather not end our date with such things. So please, let us backtrack a bit about our discussion on age.
If you don't mind me ask, how old are you Miss Romanoff?
[it's mostly said because of the revelation of his powers at the government's hands, but she knows ills because of it as well. Luckily, she's had her time and space to turncoat now and then and has used SHIELD even to over power the governments ideals. His fingers within the spaces of hers feel warm and comforting. She smiles softly.]
Speaking of, I'd like to thank you for a wonderful date. I have really enjoyed it. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun, and have been able to really relax into any experience this much. You're something special, Nate. Oh, me? I'm an ancient thirty-two years old. You?
You're really not all that old and you certainly don't look it. You're incredibly good looking and I for one enjoy the fact that you're more mature than the majority of people my age. Life experiences offer a lot when it comes to being able to connect to someone on a deeper level.
[she finishes off her glass of wine and squeezes his hand one final time.]
This has been wonderful Nate. Thank you so much for your company, and I look forward to seeing you again.
While I'm sad that our time together this evening is at an end, honestly the temptation to stay out all night with you is there so I don't know how mature that really makes me, I am pleased to hear you say that there will be a next time.
[He finishes his drink and then stands to say goodbye, leaning down to kiss both her cheeks before brushing her lips with his.]
Do skoroy vstrechi krasavitsa. [See you soon, beautiful. He says in Russian to her, kissing her one last time before letting her go.]
[there's a deep longing to make their time last longer than it has, but she wants to see Nate again and for once in her life do something different than skip into bed with a man she's met the first time. Kissing him softly only makes her yearning deeper, but she knows that's a good thing in her book.
The Russian makes her smile and she, tips her head down and lifts it with a tender look in her eyes right before they close with his last kiss.]
You have made my day, and I'm sure my week. I can tell you that I don't want to let you go, but I know it will be better at our next meeting. God boja jalsaeng-gyeossda.
[See you soon, handsome. She replies in Hangul, raising her fingers she waves and with a deep breath she turns and walks out the restaurant and toward the entrance. She does turn back to glance slightly at Nate, offering a shy smile over her shoulder before retiring for the evening. ]

Thirty two isn't ancient at all, especially when you compare it to my age.
I'm forty five.
