( accidental video / action )

[ 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? ]

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.

See it as a kind of holiday.

Never did get that vacation.

Make the best of it now.

[ He fully intends to, which is why he's still happily sat on the bench. ]

You realise you're gonna have to teach me how to cook, right? And clean without making more mess. That's what people do on vacations.

Figures. [ He doesn't mind. At all. ]

Not making promises on the toilet seat issue.

Natasha has more of a problem with that than I do.

Please tell me you do it occasionally to wind her up.

Would I do that?

It's possible you could have a sly side you forgot to mention.

It's possible.

M'gonna watch you like a hawk, now, sir.

Giving me advance warning?

Bad move on my part. But you'll have to spot me first.

Have I ever had a problem with that? [ He has a sixth sense that is attuned to Clint. ]

Frustratingly, no. You're the only one who manages to track me down every time.

[ He might be absently feeling for items injected in the back of his neck or in his arms. ]

It's not a tracker, Barton.

How else do you do it? Unless you're an alien.

I just pay attention.

I know you're not lying about the tracker. [ He snuck one of SHIELD's scanner gadgets and checked once. ] So I'll have to accept that.

Good. [ Smiling to himself. ]
