Is that all? Oh, that's easy then.

[Her lips quirk and she gives a soft laugh, ducking her head.]

Enough of this feelings crap, Barton. Didn't you bring me alcohol?

[It's an obvious change of subjects, but she doesn't want to brood, doesn't want to dwell, doesn't want to get mired down in the possibilities and implications. Not tonight.

Tonight, maybe she can just focus on the fact that James is alive. Maybe more alive than she's ever known him. Maybe... maybe that can be enough.]

[He lets go of her when she laughs, the tension in him easing a little, but he doesn't pull away just yet.

The change dof subjects makes him smirk, recognising it for what it is, but they're past the point where pushing is going to get anywhere. He holds out the bottle of vodka to her.]

Don't say I never give you anything, Romanoff. It's even the good stuff so you can't give me disapproving looks.

[widows_kiss]

At this point it could be swill and I don't think I'd care.

[Her tone is wry as opens the bottle and doesn't bother getting up to fetch a glass. They don't need one, they've shared bottles before. She doesn't hesitate in taking a deep draw from it, feeling the alcohol burn the back of her throat.]

[asthehawkflies]

Oh well, give it back then. I'll go get you a crappy one and keep that.

[He lets her take it though, grinning when she takes a drink, and follows suit when she passes it back over.]

[widows_kiss]

Not on your life.

[She lets him take a drink before stealing it back, taking another sip and letting her head fall back against the back of the sofa with a quiet sigh.]

Thank you, Clint.

[asthehawkflies]

[He doesn't try to stop her stealing it back, fingers brushing against her hand for a moment.]

Anytime. You know that.

[widows_kiss]

[She smiles and leans against him, sharing the bottle with him and letting her mind and thoughts settle.]

I know.
