[ she regrets it as soon as she hits 'call.' it's late; a glance at the clock informs her it's closer to eleven than ten. there is nothing she means to ask that could not wait until morning and she pulls the phone away from her to end the call when his voice comes through.

claire pulls a face not unlike why this before settling the phone against her ear again.
]

Mr. Quill. [ her voice is steadier than she feels. ] I'm sorry for calling so late. I wanted to know how you were.

[ claire deflects, ] Seeing as I was the only one safe from the real dinosaur, I think it's still mine.

[ logic says she cannot be doing too badly if she is already capable of dry humor. in this case, logic would be wrong. ]

Still small. [ thankfully. ] I had to take her to the vet, but she'll be fine. Already savaging another toy.

[ mr. penguin touched our lives but briefly. :'< ]

Don't tell me. You're one of those that would be caught trying to find the raptor pen.

[ so true even claire agrees.

when they are locked up. and not chasing her or her nephews.
]

Our focus groups would agree with you. Unfortunately, they're also too dangerous. Even with our security measures, we had a handler resign almost every other month.

[ claire's voice is a curious mix of brisk and lively. underneath both, a note of pride. a lot can be said about her, not all of it complimentary, but one thing cannot be denied: she loved her job. she was in her element there. and she misses it. ]

Yeah, you're fine.

Anyway, I was calling to check up on you. As first impressions go, that's not one I'm proud of.

[ claire exhales shortly. ] I'm still adjusting.

[ she forces a smile in hopes the gesture bleeds into her tone, makes it more convincing. ]

Seems like every other day something else comes up. [ she laughs. ] The craziness is almost starting to feel normal.

No. It doesn't.

But putting out fires is part of it. Just hopefully not literally.

So it's a line of people holding fire extinguishers?

[personal profile] blahnik 2015-09-16 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep one handy.

Anyway, I should let you go. It's late.

[ a little pause. ]

There's a bakery near my place. Not that big, but the coffee is decent and it's open until one.
