Even after his conversation with Luke, it took Steve a day or two to finally work up the courage to seek out Claire. He got close on the second day and then chickened out, then retreated to his room to try and figure out exactly how he was going to phrase this. It was all in the approach, after all.

So he decided today he'd stop by the precinct for... something, he'd probably find something he could do around there-- and if he ran into Claire, then he'd talk to her.

And he ran into her in one of the conference rooms. Shit. Why was it always a conference room?

"Hey- uh... Claire?" he said, clearing his throat. "Are you busy?"

Oh god. What was he doing? This was the worst idea ever.

Claire had ducked into the conference room to sort through a few things and hadn't actually expected anyone to wander in on her. Especially not Steve. She hadn't seen much of the teenager lately, which she'd taken as meaning he was getting out there and hopefully making friends. When he got her attention she smiled, clicking out of what she was doing on her omnicomm and setting it down on the table next to her.

"Not at all! What's up, Steve?"
