Claire hadn't known those things about her, and that makes her even a little more happy to get to meet her. Claire isn't the first awkward socializer.
"School was hard, and kids made fun of me and teachers didn't want to give me the things I needed to learn, when I was little," Claire says, taking the card and examining it closely. "Mom homeschooled me, and we traveled a lot, so I haven't really had to make friends except online. It's easier online, because everybody has to be really clear what they're saying since there's no body language or anything."
She bites her lip a little and smiles up at Wanda, almost-not-quite meeting her eyes. "Thank you. That's very nice of you."
Wanda will probably get an email rundown of her day tomorrow. And the day after. Sorry, Wanda, you opened yourself up to this....
