[Behind Claire is a fairly unassuming background. An empty wall, and a cabinet with an assortment of herbs, bottles, and jars to be put in their proper place. She takes a breath before clapping her hands together.]

Well. Seems like I chose a wonderful time to open my own clinic.

[With all this summoning business.]

As some of you might remember, the Sanctuary made it very clear during the riots some months back that it can't always be relied on. [The smile here is thin. Very thin.] I never felt comfortable setting foot in that place after being turned away at the doors when people were in need. So, I've opened my own, near the market district here in Olympia. It's nothing grand, or... much at all, yet, but in time I hope it will be a place people are comfortable coming with medical concerns, be it treatment or a desire to learn a few things as I was once teaching with Dr. John Watson.

Seeing that he's returned to stasis, I'd be happy to see anyone that was under his care.

[And she probably shouldn't laugh, but... it's better than dwelling on the fear of the recent news.]

Hopefully my new endeavor isn't destroyed by a dragon anytime in the near future.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Hush, you.

[Bad things will happen regardless of what she says.]

I was hoping I could borrow your muscle to move some furniture around, actually.

[america]

I'll know who to blame if I see something big and scaly coming at me.

[ Obviously another joke.

Steve's just on fire right now.

(No pun intended.) ]

Yeah - of course. Furniture is my specialty.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Ha-ha. [FUNNY. Though, with their luck...]

Thank you. It's not much, and I need to buy the rest, but it won't take much of your time. I'm in no real rush to get more than a few beds set up for now.

[ Steve will just smile - serenely - before he sobers for the more serious portion of this conversation. ]

Sure. [ He doesn't mind the time so long as he's helping a good friend. ] Where are you getting this furniture from?

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Cheeky. But it's good to see.]

There's a furniture shop a few blocks down that I've put in orders with. They did this.

[She points behind her at the cabinet.]

Currently, I've that, a table, and a grand total of one chair.

[america]

Oh, well that's just too much to move around in one afternoon.

[ All of that one chair and a table.

The cabinet does look nice though.

Steve chuckles. ]

So, when's the planned grand opening?

[nineteenfortyfive]

... now, I suppose. I don't think I'll be needing to open anyone up anytime soon, but if people need things, I'm here. I suppose I always have been in a way. Just no house calls necessary this time.

[america]

Saves a lot of time otherwise spent traveling between places, I'll bet.

[ He can't quite see the entirety of the space from a video screen, which only means seeing it in person is A Must. ]

Think I can get a preview before you borrow my muscle?

[nineteenfortyfive]

I think so, yes. You're allowed.

[CAPTAIN]

[america]

[ Steve chuckles.

Oh, he's allowed now. ]

Thank you for the opportunity.
