"Is it something from the place you came from?"
Claudia was caught by surprise upon the question though it was pretty obvious that Oriya knew everything about her and Hellion crossing the portal of time. In fact she was the one who had enlightened Claudia about it in the first place but it was the first time someone had actually talked about it straight up to her face and asked about it. There were so many emotions she felt at that moment that she couldn't express thus all she did was to nod back at Oriya.
"Why don't you tell me more about it? Maybe it can help with my mother's treatment." Oriya tried to make the conversation less tense upon noticing Claudia's lack of response. "Please have a seat." she gestured towards the mat and herself sat by the fire stove.
Claudia sat down on the velvety mat facing Oriya while she intended to brew some tea for her.
