When I was a kid at the circus, having families from places like that come to spend money was always seen as a good day. ( it's a remark made in lieu of agreement because she's right: it's hard to piece together the disparity until it's there in front of you. )

It wasn't so different with the Avengers when I first joined. I didn't really get why Jarvis was there, ( he admits, a slow, lazy smile tugging at his lips. ) Kinda figured he was my own personal butler and didn't understand why Wanda and Pietro weren't asking him to do all the things they didn't want to do. ( if he's exaggerating or not, there's nothing in his voice or expression that gives it away. jarvis was one of the main reasons he'd even ended up an avenger, and he's fond of the man.

—even if he'd been a hotheaded little dick back then.

still, she's right about etraya, about how quiet it is. he's found himself wondering if that's not why he finds it so discomforting — he's never done quiet, never done slow. there's always been noise, and hustle and bustle, even when he hasn't wanted any of it. ) —And I don't want to point out the obvious, but it's only quiet 'cause there's only about sixty of us here.
