[cheerhealer]

Hello?

call;

[motioned]

You're back from prison, right? [She'd seen the video of Claire folding laundry, but really couldn't find anything to say.]

call;

[cheerhealer]

Yeah. [ a pause. ]

Why?

call;

[motioned]

I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

call;

[cheerhealer]

Oh. I'm fine, don't worry about me.

call;

[motioned]

...What exactly happened?

call;

[cheerhealer]

I got caught doing something I shouldn't have been doing.

call;

[motioned]

What were you doing?

Re: call;

[cheerhealer]

I broke into a building and took some files. And 'assaulted' the security guards that tried to stop us.

Why?

call;

[cheerhealer]

I needed to find out more information about something.

call;

[motioned]

You needed to know badly enough to get arrested?

call;

[cheerhealer]

I didn't think I would get arrested. But yes.

call;

[motioned]

What were you looking for?

call;

[cheerhealer]

Something. [ Vague is Claire's middle name. ]

call;

[motioned]

Claire...

call;

[cheerhealer]

What?

Ahiru, no offense, but it really doesn't involve you. I appreciate your concern but I can handle this on my own.

call;

[motioned]

[EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE SHE GOT ARRESTED]

Just promise you'll be careful from now on, okay?

call;

[cheerhealer]

[ ... WELL UHH ]

I'll be fine, Ahiru.

call;

[motioned]

Promise?

call;

[cheerhealer]

Promise.
