[ Coulson's sitting on a bench in the park. There's a black labrador puppy curled up by his feet, tongue lolling out.

To the very trained and familiar observer, it'll be clear that Coulson's still holding himself a little more stiffly than usual, but for the most part he looks relaxed and calm. Approachable, even. ]

I'm going to have to find you a name, won't I? [ The puppy whines happily.

Coulson shakes his head slowly. When he speaks again, his voice in the same deliberate and even tone, he seems to be addressing empty air: ] Barton, if you're going to follow me around, at least be more subtle about it.

[ ooc; Feel free to run into him at the park or on his way home. Coulson adopted a puppy from Thor. Also, tags may or may not contain spoilers, so proceed with caution? ]

C'mon, Coulson, don't be a killjoy.

[ Just this face. ]

[ Shielding Fury's eyes. ] You're scaring the puppy.

I'm not. [ Clint. You're-- kind of adorable. ]

Look, sir, it washes off me 'cause I'm me, but the pup's got a lot to learn. [ Don't tell anyone. ]

So you think you need to protect him from me. [ Lips twitching. ] Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[ Sheepishly. ] Nothing I do to protect him from. [ Except half of the things he does. ]

I'll take that as a promise.

Promise is a strong word.

Backing out already?

Never said that. I can be responsible.

I'll believe that when I see it.

[ There's a hesitant pause, and then he turns to look at him suspiciously. ] Are you using reverse psychology on me? Lay it out like a challenge so I'll be on my best behaviour to prove you wrong. [ Another pause. ] 'Cause I think it's working.

[ With a small smile. ] Good.

It's a good thing I like you or I might take offence.

That would be petty. You don't want Fury to follow that kind of example, do you.

Fury knows we don't hold grudges. [ Slyly. ] We get even. Leg humping is the best revenge.

That is a mental image I did not need, Barton.

Always glad to provide a service, Coulson. Bringing joy to those who don't know they're seeking it.

If this is your definition of joy, you might need to get your head looked at.

I need something to shoot. [ This is as close to whining as it gets, and it sounds as dry as ever. ] I'm having withdrawls.

I think there's a range here.

No live targets in sight, but it'll have to do.

I'm afraid live targets will have to wait until there's a crisis. [ For now, he's rather enjoying the fact that there isn't, for once. ]

Does this mean I have to take up a new hobby? Soul searching stuff.
