"How wrong you would be." She smirks to herself, always glad to keep someone on their toes, but she glances at him, giving him a real answer.
"I didn't have a permanent home, growing up. I traveled with my uncle. I suppose I adopted his accent, but I'm not sure exactly where it's from. Somewhere in the North, maybe."
At the mention of Michael, Claire bursts into laughter that irritates her lip, but it's worth it. "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you. Yes, that is typical of Michael. He's..." She presses her lips together, trying not to burst into laughter again.
"He's tough, but he's kind. He will never lie to make you feel better, and when you ask him something, he will tell you exactly what he thinks."
And he's her dearest friend, but she stops there.
"Time travel was a bit different for me. I went back, two centuries, on accident. then forward again on purpose." She doesn't elaborate; she may freely speak of some things, but there's no reason to get into the 'whys' with someone she doesn't know, and she won't. She'll talk about the garden all day long, though.
"Our time travel seems a bit similar that way, locked into a set time frame of how far back one can go. And yes, I do have a garden, a rather large one. And bees."
