You've got more of a head for this thing than I do. I just punch and shoot things when I have to or glare at it until it goes away.
[ A joke, but it's the truth. Being who she is, she knows more about the territories than he does, just like he knows more about protecting her, keeping her profile low when it needs to be and also still knowing when to listen to her when it sounds like he needs to. ]
You have more of a head for things than you care to admit publicly. You know when something's coming, even when it's political and not claws or shooting.
[ You can't fool her, Bucky. She'd also be sure that he knows more about the intricacies than he wants to admit to himself. You kind of absorb this stuff when you have to be around it so much, and he's around it because she is. ]
Don't tell people I can strategize and come up with a plan, they'll start looking to me to try and make one for them. The only one I'd be making a plan for, is you.
[ Because he's her protector, of course. Nothing more than that. It's not due to a growing fondness for her that has him looking to her more than her uncle.
He also won't admit that he knows more about what's going on around him than he's letting on because it keeps people from looking at him and his allegiances much. ]
Oh, I would never let anyone use you like that. It's out secret. But at the same time, you can't hide that I know you see more than you let on.
[ Truth be told, she doesn't want to share him. He's the first person that she's ever been able to trust and it's made her a little protective and possessive of him. Not that she's admitting that in so may words either. ]
And that would likely earn you nearly anything from me. Because you were asking.
[ Too many people around her expect, or order her. It's rare for someone to care enough to ask, and give her a choice. ]

I can't think of much that'd stop you.

You might be able to, with the right words.

I'd ask nicely.
