Handler: Oh, she's a little busy right now. Can I take a message?
*Now there's a snort.*
Clara: Yeah. Tell her both her marks are waiting for her - to call them back on this frequency, and that the girl who wanted her as a friend has a deal for her she can't refuse.
And tell her I'd still be her friend if she wanted me for one.

Handler, in a baby voice: Ah, now ain't that cute?
*She laughs loudly.*
Handler: Oh, I'll tell her alright... see you when we see you. Make sure to kiss everyone you love goodbye though...
*Jean walks in and watches her for a moment, then goes and replicates some hot chocolate for her a glass of wine for himself.*
*He hears a grunt as she slams a roundhouse kick into the bag, followed by a roar as she launches a furious flurry of blows, before she steps back, breathing heavily. She's sweating a lot, her hair in her face and her head facing down slightly as she calms down. Her arms are still tensed up and sweating all the way up to her shoulders.*

*The transmission cuts out.*
*She puts the communicator in her pocket, looking at Jean.
Jean can recognise the look on her face as her 'tough girl' face, but this time completely genuine.*
Clara: You know what they say about confronting your demons. Face 'em head-on.

Jean: Senpai?

*Clara gets home, taking the leather jacket off, getting her gloves and letting loose on the training bag.*

Jean: Seriously, you want it or not?
Clara: Give me a minute to cool off...
*She grabs a towel from a railing by the door, drying her face.*
Okay, be honest with me; do I seem like an angry, vindictive, brawler right now?

Jean: Yes, but there is nothing wrong with being true to who you are, Senpai.
*He smiles at her, then takes a sip from a wine glass that he got when she was drying off.*
*Clara smiles at him, before unstrapping her gloves.*
Clara: When Lissan gets here, leave her to me, okay?
*She goes ahead and picks up the hot chocolate, sipping it.*

*She kisses him.*
Trust me, I can take her.
*She looks over at the communicator.*

But if you want to keep it, then keep it...
Clara: Thanks...
