What: claire got in a little trouble with the law, and there's no nathan or noah to bail her out. uh oh.
Warnings: none?

Her injuries are healed now, but Voids are still around her, blocking out her ability. It's a little irritating. She should have been more careful, but ... No use crying over spilled milk, right? She had exercised her right to remain silent to the fullest extent, unwilling to give up any information or motive.

She sat in the visitors room, arms crossed. The orange jumpsuit reminded her of when she had been taken in by the government back home.

"I thought I could get some information." It's a vague answer, she knows. "I saw a file and thought I could be the 'hero' and take down the company."

She could be truthful to Helen, moreso than anybody else with the exception of Peter.

[longaevus]

Helen gave a nod. She understood that. It may not have been the smartest move but Helen understood it. That and that the short answer meant that there was no doubt more, more than she would ask another time.

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

[cheerhealer]

"I think so. I won't really know until I get out of here." Unless Loki knew what to look for. She didn't expect him to.

[longaevus]

"Then I hope that you did." So that Claire's efforts weren't wasted, even if the action wasn't entirely approved of.

"Is there anything that you need?"

[cheerhealer]

Claire shook her head. "No." She glanced up at Helen, then looked back down at her hands. She felt like she had just been caught by her mom doing something she shouldn't have been doing- like keeping a boy in her closet.

"Peter said he'd take care of everything."

[longaevus]

"Let me know if you do." Helen gave her a small smile, making a mental note to talk to Peter later.

"Do you know what's going to happen?"

[cheerhealer]

"As of right now, I have to wait for the trial to figure out my bail, talk with my lawyer, and ... wait for something else to happen. I don't know, I've never been in this position." A half-hearted small smile appeared on her lips.

[longaevus]

Helen nodded at that. When this had happened to her it had been a far different situation, and era, but she understood how it worked.

"Hopefully it shouldn't take long, and you should be out soon." She hoped so for Claire's case - it would be far better for her to be out.

[cheerhealer]

"I'm sure it won't be too long." She nodded to herself, her smile faltering for a moment. It was easy to act tough, like she wasn't scared of what could happen to her, but ... she was a little afraid. Of what would happen in the long-run. She'd heard enough horror stories about people getting on the wrong side of the companies here to last her for a lifetime.

[longaevus]

"You'll be alright, Claire." Helen had seen her smile drop for that moment and reached across to her, resting her hand on her own. If something happened or someone tried to get to her? There were plenty of people that would protect her, that Helen trusted.
