At his resigned tone Claire gave his shoulder another gentle squeeze. “But look at it this way, in college, there is no sports requirement necessary. You just have to be patient. Grin and bear it for a few more years. I’m sure the teachers won’t hold it against you as long as you try your hardest.” She assumed that last part was true, grading someone down because they weren’t good at sports was wrong. Being athletic wasn’t something you could really learn by studying or something, some people were born with it others were not and that is just how it was.
She shot him a little smile at him nudging her shoulder and his words of encouragement. Clare gave a little laugh about his comment about biting anyone who gave them sass for feeling bad. “I just can’t help feeling this way, but just like you I have to be patient as I heal. Also I have to let you know a lot of the fight with the Wendigo was mental. He pushed a lot of thoughts into your head to make you upset and not think clearly. Partially I think it was his attempt to take control of our minds. I think us attacking him made him not able to do it. Strategy was a huge part of the fight. Andrei and I had to work as a unit, not try to go solo.”
