[as soon as stephen is done giving her advice, wanda is about to snap right back at him, jawline tightening. that is, until matt interjects, makes the sorcerer's words land softer on her with the way he laughs. stephen was likely trying to be helpful, offer a warning for her benefit, and not necessarily make it seem like she would do something so stupid and without thought; the usual way wanda spins his words, that fastidious instinctual reaction when it comes to him.
she takes a deep breath, listens to this about greenwich village β no idea herself of what the topography of new york city is like, and taking matt's word on it sounding posh.
(it does, though.)]
Why would I badmouth someone who reacted violently at the news of her alleged lover being dead? [she does say that, at least, but less snappy than expected. it would be hypocritical of her. stephen gets a pointed look.] If nothing else, I sympathize.
[with a gesture of her hand, she makes three steaming cups of tea appear on the table separating the couch from the other chairsβone for each of them. this is her show that... she wants to not sound as antagonistic as she may come off.
leaning forward to take hold of her cup, she adds,]
We're all from the same world, by the way. Matt's from... back in 2017? [she looks back to him to confirm, nodding once.] He hasn't had to deal with Thanos and the aftermath of The Snap. [then, to mattβ] He's the sorcerer I showed you before.
[the one she was chasing around in her memories, the one she had some harsh conversations with. taking a sip from her cup, she frowns over at stephen.]
