He snorts at Mindy's explanation. "That's an advancement from my time!" Damn the shower tent of the 4077th and damn the cold water. Damn the shortages and the heat waves and the days the water ran green. He didn't comment on Guy making a nest. He wouldn't know how.

But he was serious about following Mindy's suggestion and getting the boy something hot to drink. Wasn't it funny? Him following the suggestion of a little girl? Hah. He turns with a quick pat to Mindy's back and creeps the door to Guy's suite open. He only steps out long enough to ask an Avox for something that wouldn't upset the fella's stomach-- they had to know more about him than he did. And apart from booze, how would Hawkeye know what the strange people of the Capitol had to drink? It's a couple of minutes at most, and Hawkeye never really steps out of the room. He returns to the edge of the bed with something in his hands- gives it a sniff- and he lowers the cup to Guy.

Hawkeye then invites himself to take a seat on the edge of Guy's bed. He figured, since the boy wasn't using it himself, that it wouldn't matter. And he just observes, this time around, and his brows shoot up even if no one sees and he quickly removes the wig from his head and scratches his hair. He's silent company for that moment, mind reeling and wandering. Naturally, this couldn't last long. And he was at such a loss with what to do for Guy, that he found himself asking, "So where are you from?" Because he had the hunch he'd like to talk about it- to escape this place through story, if nothing else.
