'Offended' is a pretty normal response when someone punches you in the face. Clint'll go ahead and accept that as a probable reaction.
"Then why are you here?" he asks. "Why do you give a damn?" There's this funny thing about humans, in that remnants tend to stick around. Memories, bits of traumas, little tics and habits that never got wiped away. Loki's never going to get scrubbed completely out of Clint's brain, much as he might hope for it.
He stands with his arms crossed, watching the blood flow. Loki's not stopping it the right way. Clint could treat it better. He's had his share of nosebleeds.
"Besides," he says, "if you stick a screwdriver in someone's skull and then take the screwdriver away, there's still a hole. You didn't exactly leave me in mint condition." He's mad about this. So deeply, truly angry that it seems pointless to express it. His rage would be enough to level cities. About all he can manage is breaking Loki's nose. Why even try, anymore?
