Clint's putting an unlit cigarette in his mouth when he enters the bar; he stops for a brief moment before shrugging and putting the cigarette back in its box, tucking it away in his blazer. Unlike last time, he's dressed like an office worker just off work, loosened tie included. If you don't notice the concealed holster and his shined black combat boots, and people usually don't.

He grabs a beer from the bar, and leans back to watch the crowd.

"Sure, thanks," he says, with a half grin, still looking forward. He'd feel better if he could keep an eye on her for a bit, anyway, but pecan strudel is great. And Oswin's good people, just a civilian. "I was thinking of grabbing some coffee, anyway."

Decaf, but still.

"You ever think of going pro?" he asks, as he backs into their parking spot. Her food might not be picture-perfect, but that sort of thing comes with practice, right? So far, it's been good.

"Not before. There was too much to see to get tied down to one job. I just liked baking." She shrugs. "Suppose I could now, got loads of time. I think there's someone already doing that here, though."

He drops the keys into the door pocket, and jumps out. He's pretty sure Oswin can handle herself by now, and it's a conveniently easy walk to the elevator from here.

"Yeah? You afraid of a little business competition?" He's grinning at her as he asks it.

She sniffs, using a hip bump (and a sneaky hand because the heavy door very nearly out-weighs her in a straight competition) to shut the truck door.

"I just don't think it would be fair, to the other person." Oswin retorts, summoning the elevator. "It's never nice to put someone out of business."

Of course, she demonstrates quite well that she isn't quite up for a pastry battle royale once she shows off her not-a-pastry of the day, but she does manage to make some pretty good coffee, and is quite proud that she doesn't freak out even a little bit for the rest of the night.

Baby steps. It's all about baby steps.

[OOC: do you think you can fade next tag? You can god-mod talking and coffee if you want, I'll ping if anything doesn't work. Just my Clint voice is petering out by a lot ):. Thank you for thread <3]
