[Peggy had spent a lot of time watching and observing people, and he had been no different. Even with all the time that had passed, for both him and her, many of his mannerisms were the same. She picks up on that nervousness that was all so familiar in the best of ways, and she finds herself unable to hold back a small smile from forming on her face.
She was nervous too; she would be lying if she said she wasn't. While so much about him was still him, he wasn't the same person that had gone in that ice. But neither was she. In a way, they were meeting each other all over again, gradually building back to what they had lost. She wanted things to be what they were once, but that was what scared her the most. She had no idea if it ever would be the same. She had spent so long stuck on the past, on what they might have had, but now that things had changed, she had no idea what that meant for them.
As he pushed his shield aside, she moved into a defensive position until she was sure he was ready, before launching into her first volley of strikes. While she may not be quite as fast as him, she is quick and knows to keep surprise on her side.]
