sixth shot; video

[You are greeted by a man who looks nothing like his usual self, a bit lazy and unkempt and half asleep. He had a long couple of nights exploring, alright? But he runs a hand over his chin and looks thoughtful.]

You know. I was going to ask something else, but... I'd give twenty bucks I don't have for a good shave and a trim on my hair.

Yeah, you've heard it before. Doesn't change that there's necessity. Somebody ought to make a list of this stuff. Barbers, tailors, cooks, things like that.

...Coming from you? I don't care that much.

--hey, what's that supposed to mean?

You probably can't even grow a beard yet.

[scratches self-consciously at his smooth chin] That doesn't mean I can't tell you need some sleep.

I just woke up.

Really? Because you really look like you could use a few hours.

Probably could use a few more. Sometimes it's hard to come by.

You get used to it. Sorta.

I'm used to it, kid.

Yeah, I guess you would be.

So are you, then. You're holding up?

[looks down, nodding a bit] As good as ever, I guess. Keeping busy with Security, patrolling and stuff, you know?

Right. I just started back on flight.

So you're gonna find us a way off this ship, right?

You know I am. I've got contacts.

[and he actually smiles] Even without contacts, I bet you could manage.

You think? Maybe I'm underestimating myself.

I definitely think you could do it. You're Hawkeye, right? Best of the best.

In the shooting department.

[there is an awkward pause while he fights off the urge to say something else, then just nods] Yeah, definitely.
