No, thank God. She's...made a choice we'll have to talk about and deal with but for now, she's just confused. The standard Wonderland new arrival state of shock. With the added bonus of meeting a father she hadn't known about for twenty years.
[ There's a hint of a smile in her voice. ]
You'll have to meet her once she's truly settled, of course.
[ There's a slight pause of hesitation before she speaks again. ]
I would like to ask, if it isn't too much, that you look out for her. I'm afraid that with her here if my speaking out against Fitz or telling anyone has given him cause for any sort of retaliation, it would be against my daughter.
[ Jamie, she's sure, could hold his own against the man save him using any sort of supernatural powers which she's sure he doesn't have given his distaste for them. But Brianna is so new and Claire can only do so much.
[It isn't a strange thing to ask, given everything that's happened lately, but Regis still shows an expression of surprise at the request. He nods, though, without hesitation.]
Of course. [Her family is as good as his, after all.]

How wonderful! I trust she is not in the same poor state your husband was?
[There's a quite earnest hope in that question. Having your family is one thing, but to have to see them hurt is quite another.]

[After all, any family of Claire's is family of his by default.]
Do let me know when she's settled in.

I'll be sure to be discreet about it.

[ Certainly Jamie will look out for her as well, but Regis has been in Wonderland longer and he knows its inherent danger. ]
I'm very grateful for you.

[At the moment, the danger that Wonderland itself can present is not his most pressing concern.]

[ She won't be crying 'wolf' that is; this gift is important to her, and she won't abuse it. ]
