[Clint rolls his eyes up to the heavens. Yeah, okay. Of course he gets accosted by someone he can't even joke at directly. Look, it's not exactly the guy's fault, and he can't be mad about it when the guy's so damn happy to be understood. It's not a language Clint ever picked up. He knows more military hand signals than ASL. Maybe SHIELD should've made that mandatory.
Whatever, he can whip out his phone, no problem. And watch the guy do...something very curious. It's a robot, deactivated, so it isn't like it breathes. Maybe once upon a time it could simulate breathing. But the fact that he goes through the motions, or some of the motions anyway, of looking like he's trying to snuff out a sleeping person's breath, is...
Curious.
He taps the guy on the arm, flashes his phone at his face with a string of text tapped out.]
You couldn't have led with that? If it wakes up it can be a new flux drift like the rest of us. Free new roomie. [He does not like any of that idea, but he's also reasonably sure it isn't going to spring back to life anytime soon.]
