Clint was pretty excited, all things considered. Actually catching up with an old friend sounded great, and he was already planning to spend extra time in the diner just to talk for awhile. If he got home late, that'd be fine. He could just start on repairs tomorrow and pick up the slack. Charlie hadn't grown, per se, still being the short lass he remembered from his youth, especially now. But her body had changed in ways an adult's just... Did. Pretty was about as far as he'd go to describe it, though he wasn't really trying to be vocal on the subject. 

But, there was someone being vocal. And physical. Clint's disbelief kept him from preparing himself as a woman approached from the entrance of the diner, getting in his face and [i]taking his hat[/i]. His eyes widened, and his shoulders raised slightly to look like his head sunk in. [color=3CB371]"Hey! Calm down a sec--"[/color] He tried to reason, but felt a jab into his shoulder. It wasn't painful, per se, just annoying and surprising. Jesus Christ, what the hell was her problem? She called Charlie 'sister', right? Clint's mind was goddamn spinning, so he couldn't think straight, yet he also couldn't build up much of a response as the woman was relentless in her assault. And to add insult to... Well, insult, she tried to just flick his hat onto the dirty floor below. Clint snatched it out of the air, giving it a complimentary dusting before placing it back on his head, eyes narrowing towards her for the treatment he just got. She thought she could just do that, then sit down like nothing happened? Everyone was looking at him like he was some sort of horndog trying to pick up some chick in a diner, and he felt a mixture of embarrassment and building irritation.

Clint hadn't even heard the first time Charlie cried out that name. It was only the second time, once the woman sat down, that he heard it as Charlie tried to speak in his defense. [b]Jordan?[/b] He did a double-take, eyes scanning her over and taking in what had just happened. How could he not have realized that? The one person who could definitely have an attitude the size of the damned moon, not to mention it explained the whole protective streak she had going on with Charlie. What the hell, though? How long had they been hanging out again? He felt like he'd been missing out, though there was no time for that now, as Clint's identity was revealed.

[color=3CB371]"That'd be me."[/color] He said, demeanor still surprisingly quiet after everything that just transpired. All in all he was pretty mellow, and raising his voice to Jordan's insane antics just wasn't on his agenda at the moment, especially in a packed place like this. She'd probably feel bad enough anyways, but he saw something in her eyes that yelled [color=4169E1][i]'Oh yeah? Doesn't look like Clint to me!'[/i][/color] And he [i]also[/i] knew that she was hardheaded enough to either not admit she was wrong, or accept facts as reality. So he'd have to give her a quick reality check. 

[color=3CB371]"Jordan Hall."[/color] He spoke calmly, eyes focusing on her for a moment as he sat down on Charlie's side, since she scooted over for him. Polite and wonderful girl, she was. [color=3CB371]"Back in high school, they compared you to that girl from Findin' Nemo 'cause of your braces. Who always had your back?"[/color] He asked, remembering the days he'd stick up for her, even if she didn't need protecting and it was more to show her she had someone on her side. He'd let it sink in that he [i]was[/i] Clint, as Charlie was now distracting him.

[color=3CB371]"Guess I got a bit bigger, didn't I?"[/color] He laughed it off, but he was a fairly hefty man. But it fit into his height, so it worked out. These two combined almost didn't look like they could weigh in the same as him, in fact, he was almost sure of it. But that's what made him big brother, especially now. Charlie caught him off guard with the thought of him being married, the man blinking at her as he wasn't sure how to process the question for a moment due to it being so sudden. She scanned his fingers for a ring, but all she'd get was his rough hands that looked like they'd seen plenty of cuts over the years. There was a charm to that rugged nature, though.

[color=3CB371]"Married? Me? Nawh..."[/color] He dismissed the idea, waving his right hand. [color=3CB371]"Tried dating a few times, sure, but it never went that far. Livin' that bachelor life right now."[/color] He answered honestly, finding humor in it though his experiences with dating were less than ideal, at least for what he wanted out of a relationship. He figured they didn't want gritty details, so he'd leave that topic alone. He rested his elbows on the table, entangling his fingers and resting his chin on his knuckles as he listened to Charlie simply point out that it had indeed been almost ten years for them. Where had all that time gone? She questioned it herself, and he figured he could answer on his end.

[color=3CB371]"I'm sorry. Guess I somehow lost your contact info at some point, or the number changed."[/color] He spoke sincerely, feeling bad for not having been able to keep up with Charlie at all during the time they spent apart. [color=3CB371]"I do occasionally come in here hoping to see ya, and I guess I finally lucked out on that, right?"[/color] He found joy in the situation, such a reunion he hadn't expected. If only everyone was here! Well... Everyone that [i]could[/i] be here. But seeing some of his best friends was better than none. [color=3CB371]"Been workin' on my family's ranch all these years. Supposed to take over within too long, but I doubt it'll be [i]that[/i] soon since my Pa is still goin' strong."[/color]

Not going into much detail, he instantly went to a topic he cared more about. [color=3CB371]"What about you gals, though? Charlie, I couldn't picture you as anything but the young girl you used to be, can't believe you grew up. Guess it was naive to think you'd stay the same forever."[/color] His attention back on Jordan, he wasn't about to let her escape from his excitement, either. [color=3CB371]"Jordan, you kinda just disappeared off the map. I was worried about ya, but it's clear you're as brutal as ever. They always said you looked like the Findin' Nemo gal but they never considered you [i]act[/i] like her."[/color] He spoke, recalling her jabbing him in the shoulder earlier like a certain movie character to a fish bowl. He'd just let that sit for a minute.
