Clint had dodged out of that weird excuse for a 'party' (with some scripted excuse about going to use the bathroom or something, he didn't remember) as quick as possible. Waking up here had been bizarre anyway and there seemed to just be the five of them but no adults. Why was he here? What had happened? Where was his brother? These were the questions that nagged at the back of his mind constantly so to distract himself he'd studied his...well whoever these people were.

Steve and Bruce seemed normal enough. Just as confused as him, though. He didn't give too much thought to them.

That Loki kid, however, was a different story. He set off all sorts of alarms in Clint's head. There was just something so very off about him. He wouldn't answer questions and the way he worded things was odd. Clint didn't like him, nor did he trust him ( ... )

Cussing viciously in her head, Natalia turned a smile onto the quiet boy. Clint, she believed he had given as his name. The cussing increased as she caught where his gaze had been. She was going to have to double her guard around this one.

"Hello," she replied quietly. "Clinton, da? You did not stay long at the party." Not that she was surprised. He had kept to himself throughout the awkward get together; it made sense that he would slip away when he could.

She hunched slightly in on herself as she stepped toward him, making herself appear smaller within the oversized clothes. "In truth, I am glad to not be alone," she continued as she reached his side. "Back home, there are stories of what rich Westerners do with young girls." She cast a significant glance at the dissembled camera--no sense in pretending it wasn't there when she had been seen--before shuddering. "With Mama and Papa gone...I am very much glad to not be alone."

"Right."

The shift in her entire demeanor was quick and almost unnoticeable. From 'girl on a mission' to 'please protect me I'm scared'. It was impressive and for a moment, Clint wondered (she did seem pretty small and vulnerable)...but that suspicious feeling wouldn't leave him. Clint had always been good at noticing things others missed. His brother got a little frustrated at him for it, claiming he could never keep anything from him. Despite all that Clint did rely on this ability to read his father's ever shifting moods. It had helped him more than once.

His eyes flicked back to the dismantled camera.

Yeah, there was something going on here.

"It's Clint. And you seemed pretty set on being alone, since you left the party...or whatever that was."

Natalia dropped her gaze, shrinking back from the accusation. "Not alone," she replied, injecting a touch of anxiety into her tone. "Just...away." She met his stare for a moment, as if experiencing a surge of bravery from the contradiction, before dropping it again.

"The Loki boy...I do not like him. He is--there is something wrong there. I do not know the words for what." Her expression changed to one of pleading, wanting to be believed. "I did not want to be around him. But that does not make me not wanting to be alone a lie."
