Steve nodded as she explained, slightly out of his league (okay more than slightly given it was morestly tech talk) as he tried to keep up with what she was doing. "Impressive," he complimented. He didn't reach out to poke it though, knowing that would probably only result in destroying the results she had made thus far. "I know a tech store in town. Owner likes me given I helped him catch a shoplifter not too long ago. So if you need parts I got connections."
The former ATF agent looked at her, hating seeing her look...broken? Vulnerable? Lost? Well, whatever that look was he didn't like it on her face. She had her whole life in front of her (so what if he was only a few years older than she was) and she didn't need to be burdened down like she was.
"Though I do have limited hair on my head I am lacking the moustache for impersonating Doctor Phil," he returned, going along with the sarcasm for now. It was how she protected herself after all. Something he had learned in their time together as partners and friends.
"So why don't we just go the route of saying what's bothering you? Because I know it's something Claud." He stared at her even though she wasn't looking at him. "And don't try to say it's nothing. I can tell if it's a lie." True not all the time. He usually needed to be looking into the person's eyes but he knew Claudia. He was confident looking in her eyes or not he'd be able to tell.
He paused a moment before he spoke to give her an opening. "Is it the show?"
