Choice A - Fisherman's Horizon
[For someone who isn't exactly used to setting foot in a town and having people actually stroll by - sometimes waving or offering a smile, other times a crotchety old glare and a mutter about "kids these days" - this place is rather unsettling for a kid who'd almost, bitter as it was, gotten accustomed to pretty much

[ Claire does nothing more than watch him go, her expression twisted into something that does only a tiny bit towards hiding the rage she's holding back. She probably could have used this encounter to better means- trap him in the room and get some more concrete answers about how things are in the place where he hails from, for one....

But that's her problem. Her curiosity is strong, but in a way she doesn't even want to know, too. Any of it. It's not her world, and she's defensively convinced herself by now that theirs must be different enough that very little of whatever information they could provide would do much to help her in figuring out what to do with hers.

That, and she's not trained to interrogate, she's bad at lying, and right now... she's too emotionally fragile after losing her brand and her conversation with Raines to run the risk of losing control- something she knows there to be a very, very high chance of happening if she's not careful with herself. The glimpses of her new power are strange, and she's not sure what might happen if she unwittingly unleashed them.

If she was meaner, this would be the part where she pointed out that the chances are he won't find the woman he thought she was. However, she just remains silent, closing her eyes dismissively when he nears the door. She's got enough to deal with right now, without displaying deliberate antagonism unnecessarily. ]
