While Matt Murdock had tendencies to withdraw from people in times of stress, while he often held a barrier up from letting people get too close to him, he was great at charming people off the bat and establishing good rapports with them. Talking to people, figuring out their likes and dislikes, establishing a common ground on which to amicably hang out? He excelled at that, and even more importantly, he valued it. Matt liked making connections with people even if he struggled to maintain them sometimes. Therefore he and Laura easily hit it off well talking about tea and cooking. Once Laura realized that Matt was a good cook she had no problem with having him help in the kitchen, and they were chatting about her processes for making jams and pickles when Kate and Clint approached.
Matt sensed a cat attempting to get at the chicken and he instinctively reached a hand out to hover over the pieces before Laura quickly moved them and laid a parchment paper over until they were ready to eat. He excused himself and went over to Kate when she called, and he could detect two little balls of fluff in her arms. One was a bit more squirmy but not out of fear or discomfort, he simply seemed curious to know everything that was going on. The other one was more docile but still focused on him and Kate.
"Hey." He reached out a finger to lightly pet one of the kittens and then the other. "It looks like you've made some new friends. Hope the donkeys don't get jealous."
