What: Family time between uncle and niece.
Warnings: will update if needed

[ Claire had been worried when she saw the two posts by Peter and Sylar. The note had calmed down some of her worry, but not all of it. She still needed some family time; going out with Rochelle had helped a little, but she just needed to be reminded that she had family she could trust here. She knew he couldn't always save her, and she knew he wasn't infallible, but he was still her hero. 

It didn't take long for her to get to the Mall from the clothing store she had been at. Layaway was her new favorite thing, especially as her new 'job' at the amusement park didn't pay too well. But, money was money and she couldn't complain. She wondered if Peter would still recognize her with her new hair. ]

[ It took Peter barely any time at all to get to the mall -- teleportation really did come in handy sometimes, even when he wasn't fighting monsters. Granted, he wasn't entirely sure where he was supposed to be looking for Claire, so he stayed in one spot and just waited by the front, expecting to try to pick out blonde from the trickle of patrons.

And instead spotting a familiar face underneath freshly dyed hair. ]

New look?

[cheerhealer]

Yeah. I figured it was time for a new hairstyle. [ She moves in for a hug. Family time was over-due. ]

[ Even amidst everything to do with Sylar as of late, that didn't mean he could worry about Claire and he pulls her into a tight hug, feeling far too guilty about far too many things. ]

I'm buying you lunch, okay? And for the next week.

[cheerhealer]

Sounds good. [ She doesn't want to pull out of the hug. Once again, she'd managed to push all her feelings into the very back of her mind regarding the Sylar incident, but she still had to know what had happened with him. ]

Are you still going to go after Sylar? [ Even despite what had happened the last time that happened. ]

[askedtobe]

What do you think? [ Nose pressed to the top of her head, smelling sharply of hair dye, Peter held her close, as protectively as he could manage for the time being. Despite everything -- Sylar and their intuitive aptitude and wanting him alive too -- he still felt hideous that he couldn't have kept her safer.

He still felt like all of it was his fault. Undoubtedly because rather a lot of it was. ]

One ruined apartment isn't gonna keep me from hunting him down. I've still got more abilities than him, ones he doesn't even know about.

[cheerhealer]

Which one is that? [ She pulled back slightly to look up at him. ]

[askedtobe]

One? I've got more than just one. [ Have a smile, however forced it may be. ]

[cheerhealer]

Yeah? [ She tries to shrug off the feeling that comes with seeing that forced smile. ]

[askedtobe]

He didn't know I could phase, for one thing. So don't worry about it. [ He takes her by the shoulder, a light push towards the mall. ] C'mon, let's get lunch.

[cheerhealer]

[ She smiles up at him, walking towards the mall. ] So you can phase through people? That's a good advantage.

[askedtobe]

[ He sort of half shrugs while they walk. ] Not just people. Anything. Makes escape routes a hell of a lot easier.
