( It had taken Claire a little while of being in the hall to move from where she'd been stood at the bottom of the stairs to somewhere a little more in the room. She hadn't really been approaching the table, nor did she have a plate in hand, when the man stopped her. Claire looked up at him in silence for a few moments as he spoke, very interested in the food. She'd just been looking around the room to try and find something that she could believe - believe more than the story she'd already been told when she'd woken up. That wasn't real - couldn't be real. At least he looked like she did - compared to whatever else was here )

I haven't. ( Hadn't - wasn't planning to ) If you don't know what's in it why are you trying it? It might not be as kind an offering as how it's supposed to look.

( Why wouldn't a kidnapper poison them. Or maybe the fact that it was from another 'world' could mean it wasn't compatible with their bodies. Or it just wasn't real. Maybe he wasn't real - maybe she wasn't here. She could hope )

[ well. it's a good response, if not entirely the one he was looking for. sam's really just testing the waters, trying to see what the whole place is about, so it's kind of nice to stumble onto someone just as wary as he is. she's got a good head on her shoulders. maybe this isn't as fucked up as it seems. sam smiles and leans in close, conspiratorially. ]

Way I see it, they've already got me in the bad guy's secret lair. If I'm gonna die in a freaky magic experiment, I'munna eat as much of their shit as I can before I go.

[ yeah, that'll learn 'em to lure away unsuspecting civilians with their cute little wings and yeah okay this is probably his fault. fever dream, maybe, or steve managed to pull a hangover two on him. ]

If that's what comforts you.

( It certainly wasn't all that much of a comfort to Claire but she could see how some people might think that. If you were going to die why not enjoy yourself first? Or why bother. You would know after regardless )

I'm not sure that I believe what they said to me.

( And, if Claire's assumption is right, he doesn't either. Or he finds it hard to believe )

[falconkick]

[ he tugs the corners of his mouth down in consideration, still smiling, and glances away to the rest of the feast briefly. ]

Honestly, I don't know what I want to believe.

[ because that's what it boils down to, really, what he wants to put his faith in. a man can believe a lot of things without any of it being true. but - ]

Whole set up seems a little too elaborate for a lie, though, doesn't it?

[polyphobic]

( There's a pause before Claire answers his question - a hesitation. She's seen some very elaborate lies before - people able to be anything, and changed. But that was science and this was something else. War at one end and not science at the other. It wasn't anything that fitted into her world view for one - she went with science )

The best lies are usually pretty elaborate.

( That was how people believed them - detail. The right amount, and something that made them think they couldn't question it. People could believe anything, if they were stupid enough to. She didn't want to believe it - it would change everything she knew if it were true )
