[That's an answer he's definitely not expecting. He even has to look at the other with confusion, like he's just been hit by a ray - he's in a daze momentarily. Then the follow-up clears the air, gets him to smile, shake his head a little to throw off the moment of disbelief. The look on the other's face, even if he's not facing him fully is familiar, easy to decipher becausw it is. He nods and scratches at his cheek, his reply bordering on.. 'sheepish'. ]
Definitely learned more than I did as a kid. [He remembers growing up pretty... Normally, because that's the truth. Baseball, getting into trouble with Bucky, and then the war, the attempts to sign up and drom there... It's all downhill. World War II veteran and he doesn't look a day past his age - give or take seventy years, but that detail's something he'd prefer to keep obvious and not bring up, if it can be helped.] Anything else you picked up that no one should know about?
[A brief smile and nod of the head at that.. attempt of a joke, if it can be called one. He scratches at the back of his head, brow furrowing. Once the topic shifts.] 'Tech head'? He did, but then he started talking about 'wi-fi' and 'data plans', or something. Left before he could say anymore - I didn't know that a phone could do all of that now...
I take it you've done that kind of thing more than once? [The thought's amusing for a moment, but then he's back to serious, just agreeing with the other's words.] I think I can live with that.
[Pause, then he clears his throat, makes a motion with his hand to explain himself. Awkward Steve Rogers and less Captain America time? A little.] Would it be too much to ask you to dance again?
I just - it looked real interesting, definitely not something I've ever seen before. I'd appreciate it, but only if it's okay with you, ag-- Clint.
