Alex pauses, briefly wondering whether Natasha actually cares about her in any way, or if she's just concerned with the consequences of what Alex is going to do. It doesn't matter much either way.
"I'll try." She says it dryly, but with a hint of sincerity underneath, because it's nice to think that maybe Natasha does care.
She drops a few pounds on the table to pay for her sandwich, and turns to leave.
Natasha won't try to stop her this time. She's made her argument—and unfortunately it hasn't been heard. At this point, she's far more concerned Alex is going to kill herself trying to do this than thinking Millicent is actually in danger.
You never knew, though. If humans occasionally managed this kind of feat, there is no reason a werewolf couldn't. If she's smart. And if she gets lucky.
She's not entirely sure which would be worse, in the long run.
