[He wasn't expecting her to be quite so pleased that he had called her birthday. For him, they had never been a big deal, the kind of events that were made for disappointment when he was growing up. It was better to forget that they existed, or just consider them yet another day in the life of. He knew some people actually valued them, actually wanted to have people recall them. The best that he had gotten was a free drink now and again.

It made him wonder how many 'good' things she had experienced and if a birthday was the one time she could call it 'her' day. He reminded himself that he should get her a present this year, something other than candy. That felt like it might be stretching his capacity to care to the limit.

He rolled his eyes at her claim that her seventeen was worse than everyone else's. How dare.]
You try experiencing random and uncontrollable erections. I mean, weird powers can't be worse? [He was teasing of course. What she likely became was more deadly than a random embarrassing erection.] So... really, you experienced a normal day being Romanoff. Argue, get punched - or punch, and then get shot at be the country you defected from. They also must have been pretty poor snipers if they took a shot that didn't wound or kill.

[He was given the impression there was much more to the story, that her little foray with Romanoff had just begun there. Any kind of psychic connection between the two had to bear weight, given he knew that Romanoff had skills that would always be impressive, but her ability to take in mass amounts of information and sort it also was impressive.]

Damn, now I'm out twenty bucks. [If only Rollins was alive to punch him in the arm as a way to demand it, had the bet existed at all.] From the little I know of her, she probably didn't stay that often in one place. It's too dangerous. However, I'm still super disappointed about the closet.
