[ Claire hesitates, and the pause is obvious. She doesn't know these people, but... here's the thing. She understands that there's a risk/reward here. And that information flowing both ways tends to be more useful, unless you know the other person wants to screw you over.
She should get a goddamn medal for all that growth, honestly.
The pause, however, does mean that when she speaks, she's clearly made up her mind about how she wants to play this... for now. ]
Claire at 1306. Thinks she's a bit clever with British pop culture. How about nice walks on the beach under the sunset?
[ He grins at himself as he writes in CLAIRE NOVAK next to 1306. For now. Good point on that. He isn't sure he'll stay at this place once the storm passes and he gets some good sleep. ]
[ She says it with humour though - she's not gonna bite the head off a guy who can't tell how young she is over the phone.
Or that he might be barking up the wrong tree for other reasons, too. ]
Well, I'm gonna hang up and leave you heartbroken, now that I've gotten everything I wanted out of you. I'm sure we'll chat again. Stay British, Potter!
[ And with the tease obvious in her voice, she hangs up. Time to dial some more numbers... ]

[ Although, if she's like him? She might be hopping to another location eventually. ]

1306. Anders residence. For now, at least.

[ Claire chuckles. At least she has this left in her shrinking world - a shitty sense of humour, and the attitude to make it work. ]
Completely overrated, though. I'll take a dive bar and a pool table.
[ What can she say. Hunters notoriously make their money through hustling - although she can pick a lock and pick a pocket just as well. ]

[ Flirting in the first phone call? Yes. He is - very much so. ]
Oh, well! Glad we can agree on that then. Although I'd take any bar that's got alcohol in it.
