♨ 1 Apple Pie + Seventeen Apples and Cinnamon | Voice+Action ♨

[Voice]
Hello? I'd like to personally speak with all the friends and "guardians" of Elicia Hughes. It's very important, and I would rather speak in person. Meet me on the bridge passed houses thirty one and thirty three.

Everyone else? What are your favorite dinner recipes? I need to spice up my cooking, and sometimes cookbooks just won't do it.

[Action]
[And those who will come to meet her shall see her standing in the middle of the bridge looking over the side. She's not alone, though. Not too far off will be one alchemist around to make sure everything is okay.

[Her expression softens, and she's visibly (a little) relieved.]

Thanks for coming out to talk to me tonight. You'll still apologize to her, won't you?

[That went better than he could ever have hoped and he can feel a little of the tension bleed out of him.]

I don't see how I could have done any different.

I... if that's acceptable to you. I didn't want to assume.

[She puffs up, almost comically, as she responds.]

Are you kidding me? If it wasn't passed her bedtime I'd march you over there right now!

[That is enough to make an expression of pure surprise, shock even, cross Clint's face. Of everything she could have said, inviting him to be around her charge was not anything he'd been expecting.]

I... okay. I'll make sure I do that then. Soon.

Good. She deserves an apology. Just don't go shooting things around my house, okay?

She does deserve one from me.

I won't even come armed, I promise.

[Where Loki pitched a fit this guy is just... all apologies and cooperation. She likes this.]

Thank you.

I am truly sorry.

Thank you for giving me the time to speak to you and apologise.

[She would've been well within her rights to... do whatever the hell she wanted in retaliation.]

Well you're not off the hook until Elicia says so, all right?

[Clint gives a small smile and a nod.]

Of course. I understand.

Then that will be all for tonight, Mr. Barton.

Of course. Thank you for your time and have a good night.

[He'll head off now not entirely sure what just happened but it's better than he'd hoped for.]
