"Uh, yeah.." Claire replied uncertainly. Should she.. leave? Or was the girl safe to keep her kid around? She certainly didn't seem to be a danger, just.. weird.
"His name's Aaron," she offered eventually, nervous smile still plastered to her face.
The young brunette's reaction to Aaron was pretty unnerving - and to be honest he seemed pretty spellbound by her too. Claire wasn't that certain a mum yet, but she definitely felt protective of the little one, so she didn't want to hand him over.. like I did with Chris, but then he's his dad, even if we can't remember anything! The older woman looked.. scary. Like she was being nice, but the smile just didn't fit like other people's did.
That left the young woman she'd seen in the cafeteria. Making a connection with her would make the atmosphere feel better, definitely. I hope. Claire didn't want to be rude by walking straight back out again anyway, especially not after the fuss Aaron had made about visiting these people - if that really was what was making him wriggly.
Wanting to do something other than stand there, Claire spied a chair and walked over there more quickly than necessary, plomping herself down with little ceremony before nodding to the only familiar face.
"May, right? Do you two know your names yet? Presuming that you've lost your memories too, and now I'm babbling."
