Clint gave the kitten a last friendly pat with a fingertip and straightened up then to do the same to Natasha with the other hand. Though admittedly it was a longer and more extended touch down her hip while he pressed a short kiss to her shoulder.
"I'll see what I can get us done for diner then, hm? If you want to take a walk... There's not much cover to be blown here. When Angelina and me talk, it's mostly about the house, the kittens or cooking. I'm just the grumpy guy from the government organization, who tips her for keeping all this together when I'm gone."
He nodded shortly at the house, an affectionate, melancholic expression wrinkling his forehead. For a long time he hadn't even been sure why he kept this place or if he would come back here at all... And here they were, on the best leave he could have imagined. He would have always have a soft spot for the people around here who made him feel so welcome, even though they never communicated much.
That didn't mean he didn't see certain smiles or overheard certain implications in smalltalk. Especially Angelina was the kind of woman holding the institution of a family very high. Probably because she wasn't lucky enough to have her own, save for her little furry friends.
"She'll be more curious about the two of us, I imagine. Just let me know before you set up a wedding date, okay?", he added with a chuckle.
