( it's not the response clint's expecting, and he's not sure if it's the response he'd really wanted. he'd expected agreement, a yeah, not interested — or however quentin expresses pointed, deliberate disinterest. probably accompanied by some kind of judgement that amounts to how he's above it all, or something.
and so his reluctance isn't because he's embarrassed — for the most part, clint doesn't really do embarrassment — but because it's not a natural part of a conversation. it's gonna sound weird. )
we really need to work on your interpersonal skills.
( pot, kettle. )
have you ever tried shooting? by that, I mean anything. cause my problem with guns ( not his only problem, but a problem, ) is that anyone can use them. it's just point and click. or point and squeeze, or whatever. you don't need to think about it, the gun does all the work for you, so there's no real accountability for the shot. not from beginning to end. with a bow, it's all deliberate. you're not gonna hit anyone or anything if your breathing's off, if you don't take the time to anticipate your target. as soon as the string's drawn back, whatever your shot does is on you. whatever it hits is wherever I've decided it's gonna hit. personal responsibility.
so, it's the difference between an email and a handwritten letter.
I like people knowing that every shot is basically me going "this is exactly what I meant to do, hugs and kisses, Hawkeye".

there's nothing "inexplicable" about it.
