And do what? Live my life how?

[ In constant worry or dread? ]

I've been through too much in my life to let this place dictate how I live. We're learning more every day, there's a young woman here who's done nothing but study the Singularity. I know others in the Free Cities who certainly know more than I do.

[ She gently squeezes Daisy's hand. ]

I'm one person. Find out what other people know, and make the decision you feel is best for you.

[So much for not wanting to hear more about this tonight. Frowning, Daisy looks down at their hands. The bruising from her powers now gone, but the lump in her throat is still there. At her core, Daisy wants nothing more than to be comforted. To feel safe. Even if she'll rarely admit to it, in fear of being rejected like she had been countless times growing up.]

Whats her name? How can I find her?

[Knowing there are people out there doing the research brings her a little relief, but not enough to truly ease the panic she's feeling at the moment.]

[beautifullies]

Her name is Julie, and you'll only be able to find her in the Horizon. I...hate to be the one to tell you yet another 'thing' about this place, but we're limited to our own factions. There is Nocwich, where we can go once per month and see others, but that's it. The rest of the time, you'll have to meet in the Horizon.

[ But this is...too much, a lot. And Claire leans forward with her elbows on her knees, meeting Daisy's gaze with her own. ]

I think you should get some rest, and then we can speak as much as you'd like. You're healed, but that doesn't change the fact your body has gone through quite a lot.

[ And truthfully, she needs to rest now, too. Michael would be proud she's admitting it, if only to herself. ]

[She's heard the name mentioned once when she had been eavesdropping earlier, but Daisy hadn't known the meaning behind it. She opens her mouth to ask another question, but Claire cuts her off. Frustration grows, but it's not at Claire. It's at this place, and at herself as well. Daisy doesn't like to be kept in the dark, and it's already clear that she won't be able to gather intel through technological means.

Pressing her lips together, she gently pries her hand from Claire's.]

I'd appreciate that.

[That they can talk about this again. She still has so many questions, and she doubts the residents here will be unbiased when it comes to how they feel about this place. Moving to stand, she braces herself for pain, but it doesn't come.]

Thank you, Claire, for everything.

[beautifullies]

[ Claire smiles, though it's small, and she begins to rise. She remembers what this was like, the confusion and fear, the bit of curiosity she couldn't help. Needing to brace a hand on the table to keep from wobbling, she notes to herself that too much healing back-to-back seems to make her weaker, faster. It makes sense, and it was worth it. ]

You're welcome, Daisy. You can come back in the morning for breakfast if you'd like, or coffee and tea if you're not fond of food in the A.M.

[ As a doctor she should push for the most important meal of the day, but she's found people are going to do what they want anyway, so she's learned not to worry about it. ]

I'll let you ask anything you want and I promise I'll answer the best that I can.

[morethan084]

[The way she braces herself doesn't go unnoticed by Daisy, and she frowns in response.]

You told me your powers have no ill-effects on you.

[Clearly, that wasn't the case. Maybe she hadn't been truthful with her because she figured Daisy wouldn't have Claire to heal her. Which is exactly what would have happened.]

You might want to set aside your entire day then, doc.

[Daisy warns, knowing she'll have a long mental list of questions to ask by tomorrow.]

[beautifullies]

I've never used so much at once, and it's nothing a nap won't fix. I'm only tired, not dying.

[ But now she knows, though that doesn't necessarily mean she'll be more careful. ]

I don't mind doing my chores and talking at the same time, as long as you don't mind being outdoors all day.

[ She can talk and do most things, they don't have to be quite so formal. ]

[morethan084]

[Daisy doesn't look impressed by her response, at all. Not that she has a leg to stand on after how stubborn she had been earlier, which is why she doesn't say anything.]

I'd like that. It's been a while since--

[She won't finish that sentence, and instead clears her throat.]

Does tomorrow work for you?
