For the last two days, Claire had stuck to the hotel – or more specifically, mostly her room – trying to figure out what to do with all the freedom she'd been granted in this time. No restrictions about her identity or places to go, just restrictions specific to this city, such being inside before dusk, being careful of certain individuals and things like that. After the life she'd lived the last five years, all of those things were still freedom. Too much freedom, it seemed, as she hadn't been able to focus it on one thing until the post about shopping for office supplies. Strangely, it appealed to her, doing something that seemed like starting 'small'.
She made a short detour to the office to tell Peter – though it came out more like asking permission because she still wasn't certain of herself, this place or this 'do what she wanted' thing – that she was going shopping with the other other Claire and the Hiro not from the future and then she came out into the lobby to find both of them all ready there. People knew her here because of the slightly-future her that had been here, but she didn't know most of them, so the introduction she offered was somewhat awkward, though she smiled.
"Hi, I'm Claire." If anything, being able to introduce herself as Claire made that smile a bit bigger.
