Caitlyn picks up on a hint of sadness in Clara's voice, and files that away. It doesn't seem right to pry, though she is quite curious now.
"I'm sure my parents would come to like her, if they got to know her. I'm more concerned that she herself believes that we're... oil and water." She huffs softly. "I enjoy being with her more than anything." She glances around, somewhat surprised Vi isn't here right now, drinking half the bridal party under the table and arm-wrestling the other half.
"She's... she's brilliant. Strong, and brave, and kind. She's been through so much--" And Caitlyn's sure she doesn't even know the half of it. "--and she would have every right to turn her back on the world completely. But she hasn't. She only wants to help people, to protect them. I've never met anyone like her."
