The eye-roll that “no one has seen me naked” prompts isn’t something he hides, because even though Clint doesn’t get into the gossip and all that crap, he’s heard enough - he’s read enough thanks to that message board-type post that ran around the Specials network a couple weeks back - to know that that line is ...well, probably not a lie, but definitely a rarity. Jack seems to really enjoy taking his clothes off according to just about everyone, but right now that’s not at all important in the grand scheme of this particular scheme.
“Media,” is all Clint says in response to that little speech, but with the inflection that he knows possibly more about the sharks that trend towards jobs in the news or entertainment than he lets on. Those comments about Nat he tucks away for later, though, because that’s kind of an odd thing to say about his partner. Not that he doesn’t agree with Jack’s assessment, but the fact that he doesn’t want her to “take that on…” Interesting way to put it. But for now, he reaches down to pull the baton out of his boot, flicking his wrist to extend it to full length. It’s a good match for the pipes the attackers were using in the actual riot, which is part of why he’d been less worried about himself after that than the people toting around clearly non-regulation firearms. “Long as you’re willing to put up with it, okay. What do you want where, or should I just pick a place and start?”
