What: Commiserating and charging
Where: Town
When: Thursday afternoon

Peter gathered up a few things after making plans with Clint, it was a far cry from his shed back home, even further from the lair that perfect Peter Parker had when he'd dropped into Miles' universe. But you know he had enough to be able to work with what he had available to him, scavenged from here and there. It wouldn't be enough to create a new power source for Clint all at once, that was a little beyond Peter's ability at the moment, but he could get there with a little bit of time and resources.

Glad for the excuse to get out, even though the walk wasn't long. Peter had started keeping himself busy getting things prepared for the bar, tracking down things like chairs and tables, bit by bit - it was going to be a piecemeal operation but what about this place wasn't? And it could be kind of charming.

So you know that was a thing, and now here he was getting ready to see what he could do for Clint and his buzzing ears, because no one needed to deal with that kind of thing if they could fix it.

"Land sharks aren't adoptable," Clint said, nodding. Yeah. He was doing that. Or had been doing that. He liked to think maybe he could be a good influence on some of the younger ones, and that he could help Kate be the leader she already was - but better. But sometimes he just wasn't sure. And now he wasn't even there so... maybe it was a moot point? "His name is Jeff." They were all going to die someday.

Clint took the hearing aid back with a look of something close to relief. He tucked it in and around his ear and fidgeted with the volume control for a moment, his expression carefully blank before his shoulders relaxed somewhat. "Wow," he said, voice at a reasonable volume again, thank you. "That's-- way better. You saved the day. My skin is clear. My crops are flourishing."

"Jeff the unadoptable land shark." Peter said trying to wrap his head around that, "Well maybe it'll help to have some you know.... good people around him?" He suggested unhelpfully. "Keep him on the straight and narrow." Could land sharks be on the straight and narrow? He wasn't sure that was how it worked, sharks probably gonna eat people regardless of their upbringing.

Peter sat back and watched as Clint took the hearing aid back again waiting to make sure that it was good to go before he grinned. "Well you know I'm really good with skincare and house plants so I'm not surprised." Peter huffed lowly, "I'm glad I can help get this fixed for you." It was a small thing really, the sort of thing he'd have done for any of them, but it felt good too - to be of use, and making things better even just a little bit for someone.

"Okay I'll get this one fixed up too and then we can worry about keeping that charge a constant thing." It was good seeing Clint more relaxed like that.
