"Elle kept you from killing yourself?"
Claire knew she shouldn't sound so incredulous. She knew that Elle hadn't been quite as aloof and uncaring as she'd always seemed. However there was something... off, about that. Something that wasn't quite matching up with everything Claire had thought she'd known. She didn't think he was lying so much as she couldn't figure out just when his apparent suicide attempt had taken place. Her forehead creased in thought and she glanced down at her lap for a moment as she went over what she did know in her own head.
Still unable to make it mesh, she glanced up at him with an inquisitive look that was only just barely laced with distrust. "Obviously that was before you stole my ability," she commented. Unless, of course, he had tried to somehow shoot himself in the one spot that would actually kill him. Somehow she doubted that though. By the time he'd taken her ability, he hadn't seemed very remorseful at all. Not to mention he had taken her ability with the flimsy excuse to save himself from the stab wound she'd given him.
Trying to refocus, Claire next asked, "So when did it happen?"
I didn't know you and Elle had a history like that, was what she wanted to say. That, however, was not what came out and Claire saw no reason to try and elaborate. Instead she just had to accept that clearly there was a lot more to this whole situation than she'd ever imagined. The only thing was, she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing just yet.
