[ she's glad to take the cookies, glad to have something to do with her hands as she tries to get comfortable with the welcoming nature of claire's house. it's familiar in some ways thanks to those fake eight hundred years, enough that annabeth feels like she knows how to go through the motions, but she wants to keep busy enough to avoid overthinking it anyway. ]
[ she sits on the couch and her attention darts to the mention of the year immediately. ]

[ the other parts of claire's experience in the horizon are a little familiar too, though that much isn't born of illusions. isn't that what she's been trying to more or less do in her own horizon? figure out how to make a house? dare she say it, a home? she reaches for a cookie and shoves about half of it in her mouth, chewing thoughtfully while she shoves that out of her head and focuses on the curiosity of claire's seemingly adventurous life. ]
Did you always move around with your uncle? Was he an archaeologist or... [ wait, how can she be. polite about this. early 20th century archaeologists desecrated her mother's most famous temple. when annabeth finds you, lord elgin... she wrinkles her nose. ] Sorry, I promise I'm not trying to accuse him of being a thief. But I know what it used to be like.
