Not being met with active hostility is an improvement, honestly.

Clarisse swallows and slows in her approach. She's not planning on turning around—the training yard, at least, is a familiar constant whether Riftwatch remembers her or not, and the training dummies don't give her suspicious looks, either—but now she feels a little awkward about being here.

Siegfried wasn't her friend, though. Just a colleague. This doesn't have to be weird...er than any interaction she'd have with him on a normal day.

"Hey." She gives him a curt nod, and then adds, "Hey, Artie." She's beyond expecting anything other than what she gets, which is a long stare from the griffon.

Guessing the griffon's name is a wild called shot to make, especially since Siegfried is aware he hasn't said the griffon's name aloud recently enough for her to have possibly overheard. It's unsettling, a bit, even with the context of who she must be.

"I take it you're one of the presumed Riftwatch agents whom none of us remember." Which is, in fairness, a more charitable view of the situation than a lot of the Gallows has taken. On the other hand, Siegfried is relatively new. Maybe he hasn't yet cultivated his paranoia to quite as fine a pitch. Either way, he adds, "I'm afraid you have the advantage of me; Dr. Siegfried Farnon, and you've divined that this is Artichoke."

While he wouldn't know the term, customer service voice might come to mind for her: warm but in a way you'd use with a stranger. (It may be exactly that, in fact, since his business depended on client relationships before he came to Riftwatch.)

Divined. Sure.

"Clarisse La Rue." It should make her feel better that somebody is out here working with the griffons, that of course everyone is still making sure they're being fed and trained and monitored, but instead it just makes her feel... kind of like shit. Like her presence is really not vital to Riftwatch's daily workings after all, if she's so easily erased and everything just continues on as normal.

Ugh.

"So what are you doing out here?"
