Claire was certainly proving to be interesting. If he wasn't nearly falling asleep on his feet or concerned she was a CCD agent, it would have been a good start to the morning.
As it was, all he wanted was to go home and forget everything that had happened - at least long enough to get some fucking sleep.
Claire's reactions were not what he expected. He found no discernible goal in them. Which meant she was not interested in his...activities at all, or she was far more dangerous than he had thought.
It was best to assume the latter.
Her explanation of her past made sense - although it didn't explain why she chose to tempt fate - but it was her final words that grabbed his attention.
A psychic...
He glanced at the 'charm' on her wrist briefly, dismissing it. It wouldn't matter if she could use the power...
Tony halted that line of thinking. He was far too tired to think clearly and his mind was full of conspiracy. No. The woman's grin was sarcastic, perhaps a little mocking, it was unlikely she was being serious.
Tony gave himself a mental shake, but the suspicion lingered as he smiled and formed a reply. "I can't say I know anyone hiring a psychic."
He paused a moment, curiosity getting the better of him in his exhausted state. "What kind of psychic stuff can you do? I've always wanted to know my future."
He wasn't sure if it was a good idea at all, but he couldn't seem to think straight, even wrapped up in the power.
