[She doesn't want to go, but she must. Any other time she would stay because she knows he's on more unsteady ground than he usually is. But he is right: he's not injured, and others are. She has a duty to them as a doctor.]
Okay.
[It's a first. Claire pushes herself to her feet, but not before pressing a quick kiss to Theon's cheek.]
I'll come find the both of you when I can. I promise.
[And she does, once she's found the people that need some tending, or at least someone to calm them down before they find their own friends or a magical healer that can see to them much more efficiently than Claire can. She stays with Theon when she can, though now and then she's pulled away. No, she can't always be by him or Sansa, but she does her best to be available. She does her best to be there even if, really, there's not much she can do for the ones that matter most.
Once they've settled and begin to find their footing, Claire knows she can't leave Theon to simply sit and wait and think for too long. So, she decides some introductions are in order while they're trapped up here anyway.]
Would you like to see my daughter? Brianna.
[It's very possible he won't. No one here has had an easy time as of late, but Theon especially has been struggling. Why would he want to see a sleeping woman he might not ever meet? Claire hardly talks about her as it is.

But she misses her terribly, every day.]
