"I wasn't on Earth for cell phones either if it makes you feel any better."

This isn't to say that she doesn't have experience with advanced technology, but if someone had talked about using their "cell" she would have had no idea what they were talking about. Something to bond over? Maybe?

"Last time I used Earth technology, it was two way pagers and pay phones."

Claire laughs, but it's truly more like an exhale of breath through her nose.

"I suppose it does, a bit. Pagers are...vaguely familiar to me in that some doctors in some hospitals have started using them."

She knows her clothing is a contradiction to anything modern, so she offers a blanket explanation. "I'm somewhat of an amateur time traveler."

[captain_marvel]

"Fun!" is the response she gets, because time travel is cool. Her version of things is a little more long form, in a sense. "I'm more of a space traveler. I haven't been back on Earth since '95."

Which is still ahead of Clarie's experience, but explains why she doesn't have experience with smart phones.

Claire's smile is fond already, even if it is small.

"Well, if I can make it here I'm sure you can, too. Magical kidnapping notwithstanding. There are some very kind people, all of us just trying to do our best and get through it until we do go home. Someone's told you by now no one will realize you're gone, I hope?"

[captain_marvel]

She nods, because they have, though she's not entirely sure if that makes her feel better or not. "The problem is there was something I had to do. And now I'll be spending a lot of time running the what ifs until I get out of here."

Which, from the looks of things, seems like it's going to be a long time from now.

"Christ, I bloody know how that feels," Claire sympathizes.

"I know it isn't much, but if you ever need an ear, or have a question about how this place works or--hell, if you ever want someone to share a drink with, I'm happy to."

She can't help but offer, knowing it's hard to even know what you need when this new.

"People have explained things like the closets to you, I hope?"

[captain_marvel]

"I appreciate that. And I may take you up on it."

Once she gets settled, even though she doesn't really want to be settled. She's still trying to avoid the prospect, even though everyone is telling her she shouldn't.

"And yeah, they have. I'm probably going to go play around with those shortly after this."

[beautifullies]

"Good. Most try to be as informative as possible and either they tell you everything frightening and nothing useful, or everything useful and no warning of the possible dangers."

She lets out a soft breath and smiles just a little.

"There's a lot to understand, but you will. And there are plenty of people to ask questions of in the meantime, I assure you." For now, she won't keep her though, trusting that she'll remember to reach out if she feels the need.
