It doesn't go great. It doesn't go wrong, necessarily, but those who've been around long enough to remember Clint in his early days will definitely feel that this is familiar. But it's doing things again, even if he doesn't get too far from home turf, and it helps to settle something restless inside him.
Not all of it. Definitely not all of it. It's a start, though. Everything feels like it's just a start.
He shows up with bags of groceries in and on his arms, knowing full well that while the help is appreciated, it's less and less necessary. Still, he does it with a smile. "I feel like you should be impressed I got it all in one trip, but you're one person with an occasional extra mouth to feed. It's not exactly lots."
