"Damn. Looks like we have to go into private business and finance ourselves after all."
It was out of pure habit that Clint reached out out to touch Natasha's back and when he caught himself hesitating, he mentally cursed himself. This thing could only come between them if they let it. She would tell him if she needed distance. So he rubbed gently along her spine while she ate, straightened her hopelessly tangled curls a bit and tried to let the quiet sounds of a city going to sleep - or at least into party-mode - in the distance soothe his own restlessness.
A cat mewled somewhere near the house and his thoughts wandered to Liho immediately. He really hoped she would be back tomorrow. As stupid as it was, little one had become something like... like a symbol for the good hours of happiness they had had here. He didn't believe in such crap, but maybe it was a good omen anyway if the kitten would be back and in one piece every morning...
He sighed a little at his own sentimental thoughts and covered his face with his free arm.
"I feel old. I know I'm often joking about this, but today I feel really old. You know, like... worn out."
