"Is it because you think I'll be able to come up with some appropriate punishment? Do you want me to put a mark on your record?" If he points out how ridiculous Clint is being maybe the archer will see some sense.

"Loki carries all the blame here. Not you. And one of these days, you're going to figure that out yourself."
