"I'm starting to and let me tell you, what a nightmare," Claire said. She was glad he was smiling, even if he squinted at her a bit, he didn't seem to be suffering. It was hard to see so many people unwell, to be living among them and it had taken it out of her. Klaus had given her a book but she was happy to put it aside to talk with him, because maybe she was a little bit charmed.
"I'll rename it Creep Town in your honor," she said as she reached out to gently pat his hand.
There was a pause and after a long moment she realized her hand was still on his and she'd been looking at him a touch too long and Claire pulled away and cleared her throat. He'd be used to it, Claire was pretty sure charming women was all in a days work for most hero types.
