Anything Claire might have said was cut short by the simply spoken command of 'stop it'. There was no ability causing her to grow silent nor was there fear of repercussion. No, instead, it was a simple reaction ingrained into her at a young age from her parents. There was a certain tone and, whether Priestly realized it or not, she'd managed to sound close enough to the 'Mom tone' to evoke a response from the girl. Claire's mouth snapped shut and she settled for simply glaring at the other woman, lips turned downward and pressed together in an obvious sign of displeasure.
When she felt she could speak again, Claire gave a shake of her head and replied flatly, "You aren't Priestly." She didn't respond to the comment about loving her. What was there to say? Claire didn't love her in return. How could she? She didn't even know who she really was and she loved Priestly. Not some girl who was claiming to be him.
