"Hey, that's tough. Losing family really puts your character to the test," she says as she peers down at the water bottle with a solemn ponder. She speaks from experience. "You picked yourself up and did what you had to do."

The admiration she feels for Clara does show itself on her features.

"So, yeah. Not totally useless," she holds the water up with a grin, "I'd have to agree with you there." Then she takes a sip.
