"It doesn't have to be. I think it's about time the universe gave you a better hand." It'll never make up for what happened on Vormir, but it's something, at least. Present circumstances not withstanding, Clint's had it pretty good. His wife is amazing and he loves his kids, so what does he have to complain about?
Natasha has had a rough life and he wants nothing more than for her to find happiness somehow. It eats at him, knowing she can't have that back at home, but here, maybe she has a chance. If he can do anything about it, he means to make sure she gets every opportunity.
"You have?" He lights up a little at that, the most he has since arriving. It's a little hard to envision her and Bucky but given what little he knows about the other man, he thinks it's not too difficult to imagine that he and Natasha might have come to an understanding. "That's great, Nat." And now she's going to be on the receiving end of a real, truly genuine smile.
It's unfortunate that they've had so little good things to share with each other, but Nat was there when Clint told her about his family, so he's glad he can be here for her to tell him about what she's found. It eases some of the weight he's carrying with him, knowing that it's still possible for people to be happy and find love.
