[ Claire steps closer to the statue of his Aunt, looking up at her carved face. ]

[ Her words aren't harsh, but as she listens, she can't help but wonder. She's reminded of the Greeks, of Troy. Did Helen want to go with Paris, or was she kidnapped? Helen has no story, no version of events from her perspective. But there are dozens of stories attempting to depict whatever might've happened, none of them with her input. ]
There was a time in my world, where what a woman wanted, mattered very little. I assume it's true of many worlds, at some point.
[ Another reason she's happier now, where she is. It was getting better, heading into the 1970s, but the 18th century? Christ, she's on a countdown to being called a witch again in that time, she knows it. ]
