[ She doesn't have her stuff, her communicator or her house key or even her freakin' skateboard, but she's not stressing (much). She's more annoyed than anything, since she has to make her way down to De Chima from Maurtia Falls, all on the same ratty sneakers she got picked up wearing in the first place. After two weeks, they're hardly shoes at all anymore, just pieces of fabric and rubber kinda sorta held together with glue.

By the time she uses the Porter to get to De Chima, then crosses the city and makes her way to the house, she's yawning and hungry and scowling. She finds the hide-a-key under a rock in the backyard and lets herself into the kitchen, kicking her gross shoes off and leaving them in the middle of the kitchen floor as she zips over to the fridge. There's like an entire half gallon of milk in there, and she uncaps it and drinks right from the bottle. Once most of the milk is gone, she sticks it back in the fridge and finally raises her head. ]

Hellooo?

[ She goes quiet, looking confused and embarrassed and suspicious all at once. She can't say it back, even if she kind of wants to. Her mouth is locked up and suddenly all she can do is shrug and mumble, ]

Okay.

[She doesn't need to say it back. She never needs to say any of it back - Clara loves her either way. With a final squeeze, she pulls back to look her in the eye.]

Alright, what do you want first - food or shower?

[fayzedandconfused]

Food.

[ Were you really expecting her to say shower, Clara? Were you? ]

[Look, a mother can dream.]

Well, we've got chicken nuggets and yoghurt, so you're in for a feast.
