"We'll find a time that works." He knows this isn't it. Clint's pretty close to moving, and Clint circling back to the idea and topic tells Steve some things.

What Clint is after isn't about training, and that if Clint isn't going to get what he does want (need) if Steve is pulling his punches so far that he's not leaving marks and Clint's mental state isn't brought down a notch from a fighting edge he needs for what he's about to do.

If they can find a time that does work? He'll do it and he'll do it without a discussion Clint has been clear on not wanting, being comfortable with, or needing.

Meanwhile, there's a more immediate question that makes him frown, just enough for the space between his eyebrows to crease, just a second. "I'm not afraid of you," he says, definitively. "Pretty sure if I screwed up enough to make you feel cornered you'd do some damage on your way to disappearing again," and Steve... would probably let him, the same way he'd just about let Bucky kill him - at some point fighting back causes more damage to things that heal a lot slower than he does, "but the only part that worries me is the 'disappearing again' and I'm not going to be backing you into corners."
