[America switches to video, smiling at her with an aggressive amount of confidence in the hopes it'll wear off on her.] Dude, you're not getting in anybody's way. D'you know the area around the police station? We're in the store just south of the fire station, so you could get to us the same day. It's totally up to you where you wanna go, though!
It's my first time here, so you know. Don't really know much about the surroundings. I do need to go back north and get back in touch with Kid, make sure he's okay. But maybe you could help me? To the aquarium?
[She pauses, looking down at her hands.] I kinda can't use my hands. It's an issue.
Sure! Will we be meeting up with Rhys and Angel there? If we are, I'll take you myself, 'cause the more people there are, the more likely we are to run into monsters.
Don't worry, though! [America gives her his best heroic smile.] I won't let you get hurt.

[That is, her dying.
She lets out a little noise of surprise at his straight-forward pledge to protect her, and smiles, too.]
Thank you. Not that many people around here willing to risk themselves for others.

[He's definitely something else, but it makes Claire smile.]
Thank you, Mr America.
