[ There's a relief at knowing Annabeth is secure in the fact she's worth more than anything a man says, even if that man is Percy. Thank Christ (or...whoever, these days) that for the faults it still has, the future allows young women to know themselves better than in either time Claire's ever lived in.

There's a pregnant pause when Claire isn't sure what to expect. She suspects Annabeth hasn't had much loving, patient parenting; she wasn't always there for Bree when she needed her mother, and Claire can never change how much she wishes she had been there, not escaping to school or the hospital when her sense of loss and grief threatened to overwhelm her. She can do better now, and she will. She hopes she already has.

Reaching out tentatively, she gently squeezes Annabeth's hand. ]


I'm sorry if anyone ever made you feel as though knowing you could be easy to let go of.

[ Claire feels her heart break and burst in different ways, all at the same time. She quietly gets up and moves to sit beside Annabeth in order to put a gentle hand on her shoulder. ]

You don't have anything to apologize for, my darling.

[ Offering an understanding, closed mouth smile, Claire tries to meet Annabeth's eyes. ]

May I—may I give you a hug?

[ It's more personal, and it means being closer, so she wouldn't dare lean in without asking first, not demanding anything. She only wants to comfort, but she can also do that on the other woman's terms. ]

[ There's nothing to be embarrassed over as far as Claire's concerned, but she knows a seventeen-year-old may feel differently. There is no judgment from Claire at the very least, and she simply offers a safe place to pull herself together. Firmly, but soothingly, a hand rests between Annabeth's shoulder blades as she holds her, eyes closing.

Her heart aches for her children in the moment, but her focus is on the family in front of her, the one who needs her, even if only a little. Whatever she can do, Claire will. ]


You're alright.

[ She speaks the words quietly, and whether she means Annabeth has nothing to worry about in regards to her emotions, or how she handles the fake memories, or something else entirely, it's open to interpretation. Whatever Annabeth needs the words to mean, they're meant for comfort. ]

[ Soothingly, Claire rubs Annabeth's back and rocks gently, letting her get it all out. She can't help but wonder how many times Brianna needed this from her and Claire wasn't there. The thought strengthens her resolve to be here now, and she lightly presses her cheek to the side of her former daughter-in-law's head. She can't imagine how much this child has held in, how much she doesn't even realize she needs.

Claire stays that way as long as it's needed, squeezing gently at the thanks but not arguing that it wasn't necessary. If Annabeth needs to say it, she won't tell her not to. ]


If you ever need a good hug, I'm only a thought away and I can be in the Horizon anytime you need me. Anytime, day or night. Alright?

[ It's what a good mother does, or, if she needs a different title, a best friend who will never intentionally let her down. ]

And we'll have you able to slip into the Horizon in under a minute in no time, all it takes is practice.

[ One day, Claire will talk to Annabeth about her own life, that she had no mother and even before becoming one herself, used to dream of being able to comfort others the way she'd always wanted when she was younger—sometimes still wants, even now that she's a grown woman. Her uncle tried, bless him, but he was distracted by his work, only offered pats on the head and later, sharing cigarettes with her as time spent together.

That's why there's no time limit on how long Annabeth needs to be held. Her hold loosens on her to allow her room to pull back, and Claire reaches into her pocket, offering a simple handkerchief. ]


When I first arrived here, I couldn't even message others without literally writing on a piece of paper, forget getting into the Horizon. That's how rubbish I was. [ She smiles faintly while she remembers. ] And I think a part of me didn't want to learn, it felt like...giving in to a place I didn't want to be.

[ It feels like such a long time ago, time feels as if it moves in no particular way for her anymore. And she certainly doesn't feel the same about not wanting to be in Abraxas. ]

I don't love Thorne or the fact that you must live in the castle. Be careful there, alright?

[ She's grateful she wasn't dropped in Thorne; she'd rather deal with gods and shrines than royals and politics again. ]

In any case, I can teach you some breathing exercises when you're ready, together in our minds.

[ By Claire's time, ADHD is still largely misdiagnosed and very misunderstood, but she has at least heard of it. Only a year before she traveled in back in time with Brianna's blessing, it was largely known as hyperkinetics. So, she has some idea, and it does help her understand the concentration issues. She decides to try and find out more on her own, if she can, to try and help.

With the mouth of a sailor at times, Claire would be the last person anyone needed to censor themselves with. ]


Thank you for telling me this, it means a lot to me, Annabeth, to have your trust.

[ And it does, she means that sincerely. There's having a fake life and fake memories to help build the foundation of something real, and there's feeling the foundation is strong enough to begin opening up. It may be something Annabeth shares freely, but Claire's still warmed to have been trusted. ]

I've also found myself wanting to understand the Horizon better, and more than that, the Singularity. We could learn together, or at the very least compare notes if that sounds like something you might be interested in.

[ She smiles softly, and her features remain neutral as Annabeth assures Claie she has a bead on Throne. And the beds are acceptable. That makes Claire smile more, and then she can't help but get in a little side squeeze. ]

Alright, then. I'll try not to worry too much.

I think a healthy dose of wariness is warranted. We don't truly know how much the Singularity is capable of. I feel a...different sort of connection to it now. 'Connection' might even be too strong of a word. I'm more aware, since we returned from the future.

[ She isn't sure what that means, or why her hair stayed silver and glowing, why her magic was enhanced. Holding out her palm, it begins to glow with the soft blue and white light of the healing magic she had while they dreamed. ]

I kept my magic, and I still have the plant magic I had before, so the Singularity is making me stronger, the longer I'm here. Why?

[ That's just one question of so many, and she lets the glow fade again. ]

One thing at a time, and we'll start with the meditation. I helped someone else, and he's over in Thorne, so I don't doubt I can help you, too.

[ Claire's gaze drifts to the hand playing with her hair, and she has to wonder what the Singularity is doing. It's another question for another time, one she'd wager they all want the answer to. A part of her wonders if that's even possible, but that feels like she's getting to far ahead. ]

Some think it was the actual future if we're here long enough, but I feel like speculating too much without concrete facts will only lead to anxiety and panic.

[ And so, they'll focus on the meditation first, and Claire squeezes her hand gently with a warm smile. ]

When you're ready, just reach out to me, and we'll take it slow. [ No expectations, no demands. She'll figure out where Annabeth is at and meet her there. ]
