I don't know what I've done / Or if I like what I've begun / But something told me to run [open]

Claire is shaking.

Ever since running from the scene in the alley, she hasn't been able to stop.  She has no idea what's going on with her but she knows that it's bad, very bad.  All she had done before was cause a flower to wither when she touched it but now she had killed someone.

He's dead.

A shudder rips down her spine as she presses herself

Nyota was on her way back to the Conrad, which had just recently become her new home. She established a job as a veterinary assistant, and to her great satisfaction she was learning more and more about her acquired abilities. She couldnt wait to tell Spock about her day.

As her heels clicked on the pavement, she brushed her hair aside. She seemed to be adjusting to this world... more or less... but.... she couldnt help but feel more curious about it. From what she had been hearing, and on occasion seeing... she figured life was not going to ever be this ordinary... if anything else-- her own curiosity wouldnt allow this to go on.

Lost in her own thoughts she hadn't counted on a girl running into her. With wide eyes, Nyota fell back to her natural reflexes, turning and trying to keep her balance, briefly holding onto the person who had run into her for several survival-based reasons. "I'm sorry I didnt-" Before Nyota could finish that statement... she saw her. A girl, drenched in what looked like blood.

Claire really thought she had been adjusting; she had been doing well with being on her own. She had gotten her own job and she was making her own money. She wishes every day that she had more people she knew but she had been doing okay even with the ticking.

Now she felt like she had lost control again.

She also should have been paying better attention than looking over her shoulder because she really doesn't mean to run into someone. A grunt escapes her as she is knocked off course a bit, her hand shooting out to catch the arm of the person she nearly bowled right over.

Then she looks up, her eyes wide and nervous as she looks at the other woman. "I'm sorry." She whispers, starting back.

Nyota could see the unsteady, scared look of the the girl.... her eyes were wide, and she was shaking. But the Lieutenant couldnt brush off what appeared to be blood.... and by the smell of it, she was sure thats what it was. "...Are you all right?" She spoke, letting the girl go. Whatever may have happened to her.... if there was blood on her, she knew that it probably wasnt a good idea to just stand around. Nyota figured she would probably understand the extent of her situation based on her response.

Claire swallows thickly, looking to the side as she tries to calm herself down. With a few breaths, she swallows down the fear as she pulls a blanket of calm around herself. It doesn't get rid of the trembling or the pit in her stomach but she looks a bit calmer as she looks back at the woman. "I...there was a fight." She wets her lips while edging towards the door, glancing at the street again. Of course it was easy to tell there had been a fight.

"It was some CLF supporters, I think." She looks back, hoping to get across that it was all in self defense.
