[She can't tell if his tone is even gentler. Maybe it is, or maybe it's just wishful thinking. The idea that even a chapel cannot be a safe haven in this town is heartbreaking, but Claire nods to herself, trying her best to keep herself together.]

Okay. [It's a lot weaker than she wants it to be.]

I'll be careful. In and out. Maybe a couple of hours.

[devoutish]

Mm.

We'll be in that area. Come see us, when you can.

[nursetemple]

I might be with Kid. Would be a crowd.

[devoutish]

Mm-- I could come, then, if we're close enough.

[nursetemple]

I'd like that.

[devoutish]

Yeah.

I don't want to be away from them for longer than one night.

[nursetemple]

Thanks for the notice.

[She bites back a sigh. She doesn't so much want more from him, but right now, she'd like some comfort, not to be reminded she's not as important as the rest of his friends.

But saying so wouldn't get her anywhere, so she doesn't.]

I'm sure by the time I'm actually up north, I'll have things to do myself and can't just stick around, anyway.

[devoutish]

Mm.

[He pauses, then:]

You're angry?

[nursetemple]

I'm - [She sighs, taking the time to gather her thoughts.]

Angry's not the right term. I just came back to life, out of a coma, whatever this thing was, and I'm feeling a little fragile. But I know, we're not. Anything. So even if I was angry, I know I wouldn't have a right to be. But I'm not, I'm more... disappointed.

[She pauses again, wishing she could hide her face in her hands.]

I'm just shaky, that's all. Don't worry about it, I'll get over it.

[devoutish]

[He runs a hand down his face.]

I'm not--

[He cuts himself off.]

[nursetemple]

You're not what?

[devoutish]

I'm not good at this.

[nursetemple]

[Claire nods to herself. She isn't sure exactly what he would like to say, or do, but she knows he must mean well.]

It's okay, Alfie. A quiet evening sounds nice, anyway.

[devoutish]

Mm. Likely gonna be all I'm up for.

[nursetemple]

[She refrains from saying yeah, you said that already, even when it's on the tip of her tongue. There's no reason to just keep rehashing what they just said. He's not going to give her any more than that, and that's fine.]

I need to get in touch with a few people before I set off. I'll talk to you later, okay? I need to get going.

[devoutish]

Take care of yourself, Claire. Stay warm.
