✔ Action.

[ Clary shows up the next day, small pastry box tucked under her arm, coffees in a little cardboard tray. She likes Clint already, wouldn't like him to be upset, so she's doing what she can. Even if that includes somehow ringing the doorbell with her elbow and laughing as Fury starts barking. ]

[ It takes him a minute to reach the door, nudging Fury out of the way and grabbing his collar, not that he's likely to run, but he's a force once he jumps up.

A smile threatens to put in an appearance as soon as he realises who it is. ] Couldn't stay away? [ Not that he minds in the least, and he tries to move aside, tugging Fury with him. ] Come on, you can pounce when she's inside.

[ Laughing. ]

Yes Mr. Barton, Fury's just that irresistible. [ Stepping in but holding both the coffees and the cake out of Fury's way. ] I bring thee glad tidings and confectionery.

[ He throws an arm out to nudge the door shut behind her, leading the way in before letting the dog go. ]

Do me a favour? Drop the Mr. [ It's a polite request, amused, and he waves a lazy arm for her to make herself at home. if he flinches at her use of vocabulary, well, he intends to shrug it off. ] Word got out about my dangerous kitchen skills?

No, but I hear the cake around here is awesome.

[ Placing the things down on the coffee table and then calling Fury who climbs up to throw himself on her lap. Clary ends up laughing. ] And coffee always helps everyone.

Helps? Coffee's a lifeline.

[ He looks at Fury, exasperated, but there's no point telling him off; he's one of those dogs that thinks it's a lot smaller than it actually is. ] Shove him down if you've got the heart.

No, it's okay. I don't mind. [ Petting him slowly on the head as he makes himself comfortable. ]

I didn't know what kind you liked so I bought a selection.

Chocolate. [ If he's going to break his more or less strict diet, it's got to be chocolate or it's not worth it. ] Always chocolate.

At least ninety percent of the cakes have chocolate in them. It was a gamble I was willing to take.
