It was sweet to sense Kate with her family. He could tell how happy they were to be reunited. He chuckled when he heard Nate nearly plow down Kate. Leaning down so they were on equal height with one another and the horse, Matt held his hand out to the boy. "You must be Nate. Nice to meet you, I'm Matt. I'm a friend of Kate's. And this..." He gestured towards Frodo, who was patiently waiting by his side, "Is Frodo. Believe it or not, he's full grown. His species just doesn't get very big. What he lacks in height he makes up for in personality, so something tells me you two will get along great. Go ahead, you can pet him. ... that is, if your mom is okay with that?" He tilted his head up towards Laura, not sure if this was something that needed permission or not.
"Make sure he doesn't have anything gross on his hands first." Lila's voice called out as she and Clint walked towards the crew. Both dad and daughter wore archery gear as though they'd just finished practicing. Both wore jeans and boots, but instead of the worn out shirt Clint wore on top, Lila was wearing a colorful shirt she'd gotten from Kate when last she'd seen her. Her long dark hair was sensibly pulled back and her face was flushed from the outdoor activity. Her smile wide, she went to Kate to give her a hug. There weren't many teenage girls around these parts, and Kate was only a decade or so older than Lila, so she'd latched onto her quite quickly. "I hit every single target. Dad's training is getting too easy."
"I'm not going easy, you're just too good," Clint protested, ruffling his son's hair as Nate, being the little brother he was, reached for his sister.
"I'll just wipe my boogers off on you."
"Gross," Lila brushed her brother's hands away. "Dad, make him stop."
"Hm." Clint took his son's hands and examined them. "They seem booger free. FOR NOW." Nate laughed conspiratorially with his father as Lila rolled her eyes and said to Kate, "I am SO GLAD you're here."
"We all are," Clint gently moved his son to the side so he could give Kate a huge hug. He planned to be back in the city with Kate in a few days as the fight against Fisk was still ongoing, but this was a lovely time when all his family could be together. He'd missed seeing Kate on actual Father's Day. "Hey, kid. The trip out here go all right?"
