The picture that's been painted of Thor by both Rocket and Steve is less than encouraging. It doesn't take an experienced former KGB and SHIELD operative to catch on why Thor would lie to her about what he's been doing. She saw him refuse to leave his room when he was still staying at the complex. How even when he did he'd rather to anything than interact with the rest of them more than necessary.
Natasha doesn't call him out. It's not worth it to say something they're both well aware of and it would only cast more depression and shame onto Thor. No, this is supposed to be a pleasant affair.
"I can imagine. Leading people is way more of a headache than I thought it would be." Natasha isn't used to being in charge either. It's never been her place before now. "No. No problem. I remembered in time. I'm arranging a dinner for Steve on Friday. There's been damn little to be happy about lately. I want to do something for him. Hence my call."
Natasha gives it a moment for her words to sink in. She gives a long look around her office before she remembers the role she's supposed to be playing now. Her tone softens.
"You're still one of us. Can't even start planning a gathering without calling you."
