Dinah had gone to shower after the Great Veggie Invasion, getting pepper and carrot and tomato juice off herself before she felt like a soup. She wandered in, still drying her hair. "Hey, Roomie. How's your week been going?"

"Not good," Claire said, sniffling. "Not good at all."

Dinah stopped, surprised, the dropped her towel on her chair and sat down next to Claire. "Why? What's happened? Can I help?"

Claire shook her head. "No. It's Peter. And Nathan."

Perplexed, Dinah reached out to brush Claire's hair away from her face. "Are they sick? Hurt?" she asked quietly.

Claire shook her head again and tried to speak but the word got stuck in her throat. Maybe if she didn't say it, it wouldn't be real.

Dinah slid an arm around Claire's shoulders, and swallowed, having a very bad feeling about this. "What happened?" she whispered.

wantstocheer November 11 2009, 00:51:13 UTC

Leaning her head on Dinah's shoulder, she started to cry again. "I couldn't stop it."

"Stop..." Oh God. Claire's nightmare. The Peter she knew before, exploding. "Oh, no." Her arms went around Claire, and she closed her eyes. "No."

Claire nodded, not even bothering to attempt to speak, just clinging to Dinah and probably soaking her shirt with tears.

Dinah's eyes filled with tears too. Peter. Oh, God, Sam. And Claire, right here... "I'm sorry," she whispered, tightening her arms around her roommate, rocking her a little. "So, so, so sorry."

"'snot fair," Claire managed. "I should have been able to do something."

Because, yes, the whole thing was Claire's fault. Obviously.

"You told him," Dinah said in response. "He knew the dangers. What else could you do? Seriously. What?" She smoothed Claire's hair again, heartsick. "Both of them. God. I'm so sorry."

"I don't know, but something," Claire said stubbornly. Because logic had no place in her head at this particular moment.

blondecanary November 11 2009, 01:09:44 UTC

Dinah sighed, squeezing her tighter, and asked, "Is there anything I can do? To help right now?" She had no idea what that would be, but. "Call someone, get you something...."

wantstocheer November 11 2009, 01:22:56 UTC

Claire sniffled and pulled back to wipe her eyes with the back of her hand. "No, I... my parents don't know and Jon should be here soon anyway."

She took a moment to get her bearings. "Sorry, I got your shirt all wet."
