Haven, Maine, over the weekend
The last time Octavia had been to Haven, she'd gotten arrested and Gloria had had to go yell at the Chief of police.
The last time Duke had been to Haven, he'd gotten arrested and Gloria had had to go yell at the Chief of police.
They could both be forgiven for being a little nervous pulling into the harbor now, even without the "let's go meet our mutual therapist in person" part of the deal.

"So. Video calls."

Then she said, "Okay." It was mild, utterly neutral - and still a good thing. She followed it up with a nod that was oddly stern. (Calling up shades of Blodreina.) "This was useful."

Re: Meeting Claire
That was both a very casual and a very definite way of saying Octavia was about to hit her limit on this kind of interaction.
Then she rose from her seat.
"I'll tell Duke to come in."
Re: Meeting Claire
Duke looked up when the door opened. "All set?"
Re: Meeting Claire
"Dison nou bilaik branwoda."
Glowing praise.
Re: Meeting Claire
Claire shrugged. "It's what I do."
