Learned more than a lot of kids did, sir. Lot of it that doesn't translate into the average life real well. [ there's a soft chuckle for that confession, then a shrug at the question: ] Good with make up and hair styling. Used to help when we were cutting show time too close. That one 'Tasha definitely knows about, I've helped her get dolled up for some of her deep cover missions before.
Oh - it's a phrase for someone who's really enthusiastic about technology. Like Stark. [ he waves a hand idly, moving on after the explanation: ] If you want I'm sure me or one of the other SHIELD agents'd be happy to help set you up with something. Despite what Stark may have led you to believe, you can still find a phone that's just a phone. Or at least doesn't have a million and one functions you don't need a phone to use built in. Don't even have to deal with data plans if you don't want to. [ SHIELD agents tend toward minute-using phones a lot, anyway. easily disposable and harder to track. that goes unsaid, though. ]
Not really. Most of my missions dealt with other humans. There was one time I almost shot Thor, though. That was exciting. [ and again, it all comes out rather casually, like he isn't talking about the demi-god of thunder that he now fights alongside. like thor wouldn't have been likely to put him through a wall for his transgression, considering his rampage in his search for mjolnir. to him, it's not those details that matter - it's the fact that coulson didn't call the shot and nothing happened. so he shrugs again, gives steve an amused look.
that last question, though, isn't something that clint's expecting to hear at all. sure, he'd accounted for steve's curiosity after seeing the dance, because that's how steve is and clint's certain you didn't see many flamenco dancers in 1940s new york, but to be asked to go again? it earns the captain a look of open surprise from the agent, one he can't help. it's a moment before he responds, brows furrowing. ] Wait - really?
[ being asked to display his archery skills is one thing. hell, being asked about his acrobats or something would be less surprising. but even as a kid he'd never been really asked to dance again unless it was antonia beckoning him to practice between shows, and that didn't count - she wasn't an audience, she was his teacher, and very serious about making sure he got the steps down. so this is... new. ]
