[ There's no telling what may or may not happen, Claire's starting to feel as if things might be more unpredictable than she thought, even after all the people she's spoken to. ]
[ When Jamie was missing, all the times they'd been forcefully separated, it was nearly impossible to think about anything else. It's right now that Claire has disdain for the lack of ability when it comes to traveling between settlements; she'd invite herself over to watch over Hilda and keep her company if she could. ]
[ Hilda loved a little trouble as much as the next person, but her taste for politicians throwing a little fit about where Summoned arrived and where they went wasn't her cup of tea. ]
[ But she takes pride in those laugh lines around her eyes and mouth. She may not have had much laughter, but when she did, she likes to think it was enough to imprint itself on her. So that in times like these, when she's alone and far from family, she can be reminded with a glance in the mirror. ]
[ It doesn't matter if she can't see the smile; Hilda would like to think that she can see Claire in her minds eye smiling at her all the same.
The bit about wrinkles trips her up slightly and for a moment she's worried that she's offended her, talking so carelessly about something that she may or may not actually be worried about some day. But her next message doesn't betray any sort of indication otherwise so she tries to gracefully save herself from her brief trip. ]
