[It comes out soft, more of an exhalation than anything else.
Of course Clint doesn't want to talk about it, especially not after being debriefed by SHIELD on it endlessly like he has been, but... It still drives Kate crazy that this is just another example of Clint shutting her out when things get hard, even though they're supposed to help each other, as partners or friends or Hawkeyes or... whatever. That's just strengthened Kate's resolve to park herself here until he shows up, even if she dies of old age.
Kate just keeps scratching behind Lucky's ears, biting her lip as she tries to figure out what to say. She just met this kid literally ten minutes ago, and she has about a million questions, not least of all why he decided to come here instead of going home, but she zips it.
So, out comes the sincere Kate that America hates, her voice going quiet.]

I'm sorry. It'll be better here.
