Arcadian, alluring, and lavish, the music notes blew in over the meticulously set tables and patrons, plundering Clint with the sound. It was gross. If Clint had wished to listen to violins and cellos while he ate, he would not have invited a friend. The aspect of a social dinner rendered music completely superfluous. What was he supposed to do? Talk over the unbearable melody? Is that what fancy people did? Clint, of course, did not even begin to echo the adjective “fancy”. But he decided that fancy people were not bothered by the overshadowing music because fancy people only ever talked to other fancy people, and all fancy people considered other fancy people not as fancy as themselves and therefore had nothing to talk about.
Luckily, this crisis had not yet reached Clint as his “friend” was late. Or maybe he was early; both were possible, though the latter was much dodgier. To further the blonde’s avant-garde mind-set, he was sporting a disheveled-looking tux (the only one, in fact, that he owned). The suit itself was pure and true, even relatively chic—if you squinted hard enough, that is. It was more so his manner of wearing said suit that exposed him as a maverick. Slouched in his chair with his arms folded behind his head in feigned relaxation, Clint looked like a real bohemian. He drew a hand to his neck and tugged uncomfortably at the collar, training his eyes on the front entrance. The keenness of his gaze was that of both the wanderlust to escape and of impatience. With a grumble, he waved the waitress off once more, again stating that he was waiting for someone, before deciding that he was going to bail if Natasha didn’t show in the next five minutes. Leaning forward, he pushed back his sleeve and proceeded to stare intently at his watch. Five minutes, starting… now.
