WHO: Claire & Wash
WHAT: Claire meets her new room mate and understandably freaks out.
WHEN: Tuesday afternoon.
WHERE: Claire's room.
RATING: Low.
In the few days since she had lost her ability to hear, Claire had grown accustomed to it. She'd even gotten use to quickly circuiting her small apartment every ten minutes or so, just to keep an eye on things she'd normally be able to hear. Aside from the evil-people-might-kill-us thing, she didn't really see what everyone was complaining about. As far as she was concerned, they were just unadaptable.
Also since she'd gone deaf, Claire had begun reading more. She'd never really had time to read when she'd been working for the Dollhouse, just because it was such a demanding job, and had found herself missing the somewhat calming effect of lounging and reading a good book. She'd acquired several books on varying and eclectic topics earlier that day and was now sitting on the sofa in the main room with a cup of tea, reading and occasionally glancing up at the front door.
As it so happened, somebody turned the knob just as she was glancing up at it. She froze in place, her cup halfway to her mouth, suddenly very tense as the door swung open (she was pretty sure she'd locked it. Hadn't she locked it?)
