Even though Claire suspects that most people on the island, being as kind and accepting as they are, wouldn't bother requiring a tape or camcorder from her in exchange for imparting knowledge, there's something about being capable of offering up her own half of the bargain that leaves Claire feeling better about it all. The camcorder itself might only be an island gift, but it felt good to offer something up for the auction, felt good to give island-bound film enthusiasts a chance to explore their trade, and it's the sort of thing meant to be shared, anyway. A way to put memories into physical form, tuck them away to be reviewed at a later date. So Claire beams, with every intention of handing a couple of tapes over later.
"Definitely take me up on the camcorder whenever you'd like; I should be using it more often than I do, but I obviously get distracted. By things like diving, even," she laughs, crossing her arms over her chest as a breeze slips by. "But... yeah, I would really like that, to take a look at the equipment and stuff. I always thought these things were kind of one-size fits all. The masks, I mean."
She paused, then smiled, with a touch of a grimace in the expression. "Then again, I guess I'm kind of kid-sized, so maybe I'd be an exception."
