When the blaring music faded and was replaced with quiet only occasionally interrupted by static, Claudia shut her eyes and sighed for a brief pause before resuming what she was doing. So much for the ominous feeling being drowned out.

"Yeah. H.G. got Anakin to do the programming and he did it in a Star Wars language of some sort, so - I had to wipe what I could and replace what I couldn't, plus moving stuff around to put the TESLA in and avoid any overheating or frying of its circuitry when it uses the TESLA." Claudia explained after a few moments of silence, finally finishing connecting the tiny pieces. "This is part of the inner-frame."

She sat up and put the screwdriver down on the table, pulling the headphones off and putting them next to her project. It took her awhile to actually turn and look up at Steve and, when she did, it was only for a few moments before she stared back at the floor.

"So, how do you want this to go, Doctor Phil? I can kick back on the sofa and put my sneakers up in the air and chat about my childhood, or we can go list-style and then burn it to 'release it to the atmosphere' or something. The castle might not take well to arson via list burning though." Even when hurting and upset, Claudia couldn't really figure out how to approach this without the best defense mechanism ever - sarcasm. It was Steve, but it was still awkward to admit she was feeling some of the things she was. Claudia wasn't used to touchy-feely stuff. Most of what she had gotten used to touchy-feely wise had been due to Steve, like when he told her about Olivia. Steve's return and her ability to react to it had been limited, unfortunately, because she had watched in the castle. There had been a feeling of victory, but also a selfish want to hug him excessively. She had really wanted to hug him excessively and help him emotionally if he had needed it when he had arrived at the castle, and she had offered, but he had said he needed time and... well, she understood that. It hadn't really come up again. Still, she had made a point of asking who he was making friends with and everything else in an attempt to make sure he was okay.
