The more time Claire spent wandering the city, the easier it seemed to be to adjust to her new home. It was still a little strange to walk down the street and not have to worry about being attacked just for being who she was, but she was slowly but surely getting used to it. She still carried her taser and knife on her, just in case, but she no longer looked over her shoulder every few seconds. It was a definite improvement considering what her life had been like for the last few years and she had to admit she was proud of herself and the progress she'd made.
Of course, she'd yet to venture near areas where there might be lots of people. Which meant any sightseeing was done away from the mall and the beach as she naturally assumed that those two areas would be the busiest. Instead she wandered down sidewalks in front of shops that were out of the way from the main traffic area. Learning the side roads and her way around, ever the soldier even if she was trying not to be. Yet as she did so, she also did her best to at least acknowledge those she met along the way and today was no exception. She'd greeted a few people already and finally decided to treat herself to some lunch as a reward.
Rounding a corner, on her way to a small cafe she'd discovered the day before, she didn't notice the other person until she'd already walked right into him. Stumbling back a bit, she grunted in surprise then immediately peered up at the person she'd smacked into. Just her luck, really. Here she'd been doing so well at being friendly to those she met and now she was bowling people over because her mind was on what to order to eat. Classy. Really.
"I am so sorry," she apologized, pulling herself out of her thoughts and mental kicks. "I didn't even see you there!"
