Is Clint being a little protective? Don't be stupid, he's protective of everyone. At least, that's what he tells himself.]
that's good to hear. i was worried.
[Since, um, the last time he remembered seeing Steve was the hazy memory of the creature masquerading as himself and leading the pooka down a dark hallway.]
uh, if you see him, tell him i'm sorry that the creature pretending to be me probably almost ate him?
i'm not going to be stupid and say that i know how you're feeling, because i don't, and i'm not going to give you some sort of unwarranted advice, because the last thing you need right now is some random adult talking down to you. but what i can offer you is another outlet, if you ever want to take it.
also, a free pizza voucher. if you eat pizza. and aren't lactose intolerant.
