[Zari, like most people who spent their lives starving due to evil dystopian governments, loves food. It is one of her only comforts in life when she can get it. Understandably, she tends to be fond of the people who provide it for her.
That's why her initial reaction to spotting Yelena for the first time in days is to ask:] Please tell me it's spicy macaroni and cheese day. I really need it to be spicy mac day.
[It's been a rough few days in Hell. No one is surprised.]
[Yelena pauses at that and then gives a definitive nod.]
Yes, actually, it is spicy mac day. My sister is having quality time with her Bucky-boo, so it is the perfect time to experiment in the kitchen with macaroni and hot sauce.
[Even if her sibling is dead, Zari still appreciates a good trolling. She doesn't even hesitate to just accept it as fact because who really cares? It's funny.
Zari chuckles.] That's love for you. It turns everyone into that couple.
You don't have to ask me twice. [Zari is quickly following after Yelena. The promise of food always gets her moving.] How do they even find time for love here? Did they get paired up in some crazy wedding ceremony too?
[Zari smiles because this is some pretty good tea. Also it's kind of hilarious because it didn't happen to her.] Turns out they were all brainwashed into marrying each other a year ago. That's how he got a husband.

[She lifts her head up to ask,] Bucky-boo? Is she calling him that?
no subject
Oh, yes. But neither of them will ever admit it.
[This is false, actually. Nat definitely doesn't call Bucky "Bucky-boo." But that won't stop Yelena from telling people she does.]

[She shakes her head a little, as though she's mildly exasperated.
Then she gestures for Zari to follow her.]
Come on, let's see what we can find in the kitchen.

[She pauses and glances back at Zari.]
What weird wedding ceremonies?
[Someone has missed all the arranged marriage events.]
