What: Jinks is trying to get Claudia to open up about the things bothering her
Where: Their room
When: Backdated to Tuesday evening
Status: In Progress
Rating: Potential for WH13 feels so probably on the high side, also WH13 spoilers, read at your own risk.
Steve spent most of his day at the precinct worrying over the talk he was going to be having that evening with Claudia. He wanted to help her deal with the things bothering her but more than that, he felt that if she admitted them aloud, it would be a step into them not having so much of an affect over her. He wasn't the only one that had noticed her withdrawn here and there. He knew part of it was due to the Christmas holiday and them not being home. There was no Joshua here for her to pester.
At least she got him back he thought as he sat on the trolley, heading back for the castle. If he could, Steve would give just about anything for another minute with his sister. But there were no artifacts that could reverse death nor would he use them if he could. God only knew what kind of downside those artifacts had. But at least Steve had memories with her. Better than nothing.
Getting off at the stop for the castle, he made his way down the path to the stone structure, trying to think of how to word things so that Claudia would want to open up. The young woman was stubborn and full of spirit. But he was hoping that the fact she agreed to meet with him meant she wanted to discuss what was on her mind.
Moving through the familiar halls and up the steps, he soon reached their room and let a slow breath out. Here went everything. Pushing the door open, he walked in.
"Claudia?"
