"It means that I'm not eating people." Somehow, she doesn't think that will come as a great comfort to him. If she were going to have to admit her motivations to a stranger, it would be nice to at least expect some advantage for it. "And I'm avoiding places that would make that more of a temptation."
But he raises another question. It's not just the fact he's human that makes her peg him for a hunter. It's his animosity, and the way he carries himself, like he's looking for a fight and he's ready to back up his aggression with experience. Natasha is very familiar with that look.
