Mathias

"Hey, Mathias," Claire replies with a slight laugh and an eager shake, one no less than giddy at the thought of actually being able to dive deep down, and probably not entirely on her own, which is twice the comfort. After all, without previous experience of her own, and with her newfound mortality, she wouldn't want to end up making a false turn that makes her first adventure also her last— the point isn't to put herself in a great deal of danger, but instead to extend her experiences to where they haven't been before. "I'm Claire. And no, I... haven't gone diving before at all, I'm afraid. Used to live in Texas, so we weren't exactly close to the best diving waters around, if you know what I mean."

Shifting her weight from one foot to the other, she continues to beam, widely enough that her cheeks ache with the effort. "But if you would be willing to, I don't know... lend me and possibly help me out with that extra set? I know it's a lot to ask, and I don't have terribly much to offer— unless you happen to like taping film, because I do have a camcorder and several blank tapes, you could totally make memories that you could replay on the television in the rec center, I don't know. Or I bake a mean cupcake. Seriously. If any of that would be interesting to you," she went on, tone a little wheedling at the end as she tilted her head, trying to gauge his interest.
