Re: Apple Inn[Safe Haven]
"No kidding," Claire spat, when Christie first got serious.
Then her expression softened. "Alright, well when you put it that way, I can see how you'd feel..." She placed a hand over the mechanic's, squeezing it briefly. "You're not alone, at least." She wondered if when Christie talked about the creature she'd encountered, she meant that it had taken advantage of her in the same way that the reptilian thing had taken advantage of her... though she didn't speak up about it just yet. They had only just met, after all.
Claire dusted her skirt off as she made to stand again, though that guard-woman distracted her from her next words quite succinctly. "Are you fucking kidding me?" she asked the newcomer. "For God's sake, lady, I'm a librarian, not a soldier -- I read 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' to toddlers on Sunday's for Read n' Share Weekend, I don't put holes through them!" Giant caterpillars, not toddlers.
Hand fluttering up to smooth the lines marring her forehead, she apologized. "Look, I'm sorry, this is too... too much. I might, (God, I'm going to regret this) I might take you up on that in a little bit. I just... I'll be in the weapon shop if you want me," she spoke to Christie, before heading off in that direction.
*Go to the weapon shop!*
