After a few hours on a mission alone that Clint could handle on his own, he returned to the mansion to relax some. He walked down the hall carrying his bow in his hand and the arrows on his back. He only had one tiny wound on his arm, but it didn`t bother Clint at all,he had gotten bigger wounds. He sighed and walked into the kitchen to grab something cold to drink as he was pretty thirsty. He grabbed a glass of water and looks through a drawer and found his bag of peanuts and ate some of them , "Mmm peanuts" he said and ate some more of it.
He took a seat by the table as he was all alone in the kitchen. He sipped some more of the water and removed the arrows from his back and put it down on the floor.

It was Cassandra's first actual day in the mansion. She had moved what few belongings she had into a room that had been assigned to her. It was homey. A feeling she had no reason to know. She felt an all to familiar pang of hunger in her stomach, but she knew she could just take care of it now. She made her way towards the kitchen, and she sensed someone was in there before she stepped through the doorway.
She didn't look at him however, but she smiled faintly at the smell of peanuts in the air. She loved peanuts, and it was one of the foods that had kept her alive on her struggles between orphanages. She stood on her tip toes to grab a glass from the cabinet and went to the freezer and filled it with ice before filling it with water from the sink.
She opened the fridge, her gun was still strapped to her hip. She felt a little over the top as she had another hidden in her shirt, one strapped to her thigh, and a final one hidden in her sock. She was supposed to be safe here, but she never felt safe. She pulled out the things to make a sandwich and made herself one, putting everything back she eyed the man sitting at the table. He was quite handsome, but she didn't let it bother her. She set her plate down, and grabbed her water. She took a seat in the chair across from him, not wanting to sit next to someone she didn't know.

Clint sat by the table still ,relaxing and eating more of his peanuts out of the bag and heard footsteps coming closer to the kitchen. At first he didn`t look up at the person who entered ,just looked straight forward. But after a while as he heard the person searching through the cabinet for a glass. Then he decided to turn and look at the person as he got curious. It was a woman, a damn fine one as well. Clint had never seen her here before at the mansion. He watched her some when she filled the glass with ice and then with water from the sink.
He looked some more and noticed that she had some weapons on her. She was making a sandwich as well, but Clint turned back before she could notice that he had looked at her. He sipped some more water and grabbed a few more peanuts to eat. He heard her footsteps walking and taking a seat across from him.
Clint had to look up and look at her a bit. She was really beautiful. He looked at her some more. "Hey " Clint said to her and smiled some.

Cassandra looked up at he said hello. Her dark brown eyes searched his for a moment. She reached for her glass with a steady hand. She knew she would be categorized as 'rude' for not responding right away, but when had her reputation ever been good. She took a sip from the glass, leaving a faint hint of her lipstick on the clear cup.
She looked at him just a moment longer. She felt her gun digging into her back, but with how many times she had been wearing them all, and then some, she was used to the slight discomfort. She offered the faintest hint of a smile. "Hello." She responded, her voice strong and clear. It held a small amount of pride, as she had never been proud of what she had done. She wondered how he would react to her behavior. Someone of his looks, she thought, must have women throwing themselves at his feet. She picked off a bit of bread and slipped it into her mouth, chewing and swallowing.

Clint looked at the woman as she looked up at him after he said hello to her. He looked into her dark brown eyes and couldn`t really take his eyes away from them at first. She didn`t say much at first but Clint didn`t mind really. He was patient about it. He kept looking at her and studied her for a bit,her dark hair and dark brown eyes, and pretty face. He slipped some more peanuts into his mouth.
He smiled some when she finally said hello back. He still found her interesting and kept on smiling at her. "You`re new here..." he said and looked at her.

She was partly surprised how he didn't seem to scoff and get up to leave. She noticed how he kept staring at her, mainly her eyes. She took the opportunity to look back. His hazel eyes, bright, intelligent. She kind of like it. Well, more than kind of. She found herself drawn to looking back into his eyes, but she managed to look away. She concluded that he was very handsome. And undoubtedly very taken, and very far out of her reach.
She smirked at the peanuts. She remembered the delicious salty taste. She smiled at him, still hesitant and distant, but not cold and unresponsive. "No, I'm not from around here at all. Just moved in.." She was surprised she had said that much. "But you seem to be." She offered another one of her unsure smiles.

Clint had kept the eyecontact with her. He didn`t want to look away as he was interested in this woman. She was interesting and a bit mysterious , she looked tough as well with the guns on her, and Clint liked women like that. But he didn`t know if she was single or taken at the moment, but he was gonna find out.
He smiled some more at her ,looking at her when she started speaking, "Oh..well it`s nice to meet new faces around here " he said and smiled to her some more. "I`ve been here for a while..i`m Clint " he said and looked at her and kept eating some more peanuts.

Cassandra looked at him a moment longer. He had kept the eye contact with her, and she hadn't flinched away. But it hadn't been a hard and cold death stare. He was handsome, very handsome. She kind of wanted to know if he had a love interest, she had never had time for it. But, now she did, and she wanted to explore. Maybe she would get lucky, but only her aim had ever been lucky, but there was no luck involved when it came to it. It was skill.
She nodded at his words. It felt so strange for her to be welcome. It was so strange, yet so craved. She felt even more drawn to him as he was filling her craving for the feeling of a family. Or someone whom loved her. She doubted the latter would ever happen, but the mystical lie of a family might. "Mine is very new. Trust me." She muttered with a faint smirk. "Well Clint," She liked the way his name flowed off her tongue. "I'm Cassandra." She would have extended her hand to him, but she knew he arm wasn't long enough to reach.

Clint looked at Cassandra some more. He smiled some more at her as well as they were starting to have a conversation with eachother. He felt the need of getting to know her better and he was not backing down now. "Yeah i can tell that you`re pretty new..and i trust you " he said to her and smiled some more,looking at her and hearing her saying his name and liking it. When she told Clint her name, he smiled. "Cassandra..that`s a pretty name" he said ate some more peanuts ,looking at her.
"So how is your first day here so far ?" Clint asked her and grabbed his glass and sipped some water.

Cassandra watched Clint, a small smile slowly growing into something a little more. She could be a teasing person sometimes, and hoped he wouldn't mind. She knew she would have fun with it. She knew she would enjoy talking with him. She just knew. She smiled a little more when he said he trusted her. "It's that obvious that I'm new?" She offered a soft chuckle. It had been so long since she had last laughed. "I trust you too." Her trust was hard to come by, but he seemed to have earned it in no time. Something about him...she just trusted it...She smiled as he said her name. She would never admit it, but she liked how her name sounded when said by him.
She smiled just a little more at his next question. "Well, I think I made a friend. Maybe. So, pretty good." She smirked. "How about you? How's your day?" She asked, and she really cared.

Clint looked at Cassandra more and smiled some. He really wanted to get to know her more. He ate some more peanuts and looked at her some more. He nodded some , "Yeah it is..since i haven`t seen you around here before " Clint said to her and smiled some more. He looked at Cassandra when she said she trusted him as well, "That`s good to know" he said to her. Clint liked how they could trust eachother after meeting so shortly.
He smiled some at her answer, "You made a friend huh..well i think i have made a friend too" he said and smiled wider at her."But besides that..my day has been pretty good , just got back from a mission " he said and looked at her and ate more peanuts. He looked at the bag and then at her. "Peanuts ?" he offered Cassandra and held the bag out to her and smiled some.

Cassandra smiled at him. He seemed nice enough. Kind enough. Sweet enough. She could get used to him. She was already greatly enjoying his company. "Well happy to be your friend. I was a bit of a lone wolf before this." She offered a faint smile. Hinting she was alone. In all senses of the word.
She smirked as he offered her some peanuts. "I love peanuts." She grinned, reaching into the bag and taking a small handful. "They literally saved my life a few times." She smiled more and popped one into her mouth.

Clint kept on smiling at Cassandra. She had a very beautiful smile and he enjoyed talking to her more. He listened to her when she spoke. "Happy to be your friend too..and you don`t have to be the lone wolf anymore now" he said and smiled more at her.
He looked at her holding the bag of peanuts to her and he had to smile when she said she loved peanuts which was a positive surprise to Clint. "Really ? wow that`s pretty awesome..thought i was the only who loved peanuts so much " he said looked at her when she grabbed a small handful of them. He grinned and poured some more peanuts down on her plates before taking the bag back and ate some more. "I have to say that i`m a bit curious about you and peanuts can be a lifesaver at times" he said and grinned.
He ate some more peanuts and smiled at her.

Cassandra smiled happily at him, she was greatly enjoying this conversation. She had concluded that she liked this guy. She slumped her shoulders slightly as she leaned back on the chair, getting comfortable. She almost forgot what it felt like to be relaxed, but this guy, he was like a pill to her. She was as relaxed as she had been in years....
She grinned and popped another peanut into her mouth, savoring the sweet saltyness. She grinned at him. "I guess I'm full of surprises." She smirked and ate another, watching him with happy brown eyes. She smirked at his comment. She had never willingly told anyone about anything from her past, but she trusted this man. Almost as much as she trusted herself. "Let's just say when you're starving and have no where to go, they are the easiest things to steal from the supermarket." She trailed off, and popped another peanut into her mouth, feeling slightly awkward now.

Clint ate some more peanuts and looked at Cassandra. They were starting to get to know eachother a bit, and he liked her. There was just something about her that made Clint more interested in her. "Yes i guess you are ",he said to her and smiled some more at her. He looked at Cassandra and listened to her more as she spoke. He had to smile a bit. "I would`ve stolen the peanuts too to survive..nothing to be ashamed about" Clint said as well and ate some more.
He had a lot of questions for her but he wasn`t sure he wanted to attack her with a lot of them right now. He wanted Cassandra to feel comfortable around him and no see him as a curious man.
"So are you skilled with that weapon of yours ?" Clint asked her and looked at her.
