That laugh might have been infectious if it wasn't obviously at Jasper's expense, and well deserved. The best he could muster was a pained chuckle, raising a hand to grasp his neck only to flinch and drop it when his burn crackled and made his stomach turn. As it went on, he sidled closer to his curtain, tugging idly at the edge like he might wrap himself in it and disappear, and finally managed an honest if small, "About as much as you'd expect," as the Scarlet Witch caught her breath. At least she wasn't angry with him, but then, she wasn't very Hulk-like. It got much easier to return her smile at her thanks, an nodded like he totally meant to do that and it was no big deal, just doing his job, only to freeze apprehensively when she paused in her evaluation of him. There were a lot of bad places that could go and Jasper had heard them all from Fury in the last week alone which generally didn't make it so hard to hear except when it came to nice, popular girls who probably knew how to weed out the bad ones.
Adorable was far more complimentary than he thought he could achieve between the eavesdropping and the big angry name calling, but somewhere along the way he must have done something right. Of course he did, he was Jasper Sitwell, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., ladykiller. Killer? Was that it? He stood proudly, head held high with a smirk and declared with powerful conviction, "No." Well, that wasn't perfectly true. "Not anyone my own age, anyway," he corrected, dropping the masculine splendor and grinning with the blush and anxiety of flattery. He started, "Do you have any siblings?", then shook his head, you don't want any, explaining, "Five sisters, all older. They bring their friends home in high school, it's all 'Oh, look at him, he's so precious, will he do our nails for us?' Then you get to high school, and if a girl looks at you it's because you're drooling on your desk or your fly's undone or something." Deep breath, she didn't ask for a life story. Jasper pressed his lips together and considered the wall next to his bed as a good place to bang his head off of in a private moment, not sure why he just did that. Oversharing to pay for the overlistening, maybe.
