[Seeing her smile like that, where nothing at all could dull that radiance for however long it lasts - that's something Pietro would have wished for, might have even. A simply thing is all it takes to produce it, but Wanda glows when she laughs like that, when her smiles reach her eyes, and when - for a moment - nothing around them is falling apart. He's careful not to smile back as much, he has appearances to maintain.]
And where did that money come from?
[He throws up his hand in mock exasperation, which doesn't translate much differently than real exasperation with him, but Wanda can usually tell the difference.]
No, you thank me.
[It could have been his money, could have been hers. Neither one of them has an actual job, unless Wanda's been moonlighting. He steals, he knows she does odds and ends for people like shopping, helping with someone's kids. There's not many secrets Wanda could keep from him, so Pietro maintains his conviction that 80% of their collected money stashed in an old tin in the back of the bedroom closet comes from his efforts alone.]
