Both of her eyebrows raise, and Claire spends a moment doing the math in her head, acknowledging that date. She looks away before her staring borders on rude. "You're adapting really well, for someone from 1945." Another moment is spared so that she can glance at their surroundings, at the CiD in her hand. She spent several hours freaking out once she realized that she was in Baedal, and the experience of world hopping is hardly a novelty to her. She can't know if he spent several hours freaking out as well, but she has a feeling he wouldn't be half as composed as he is now if he had, soldier or not.
"I've known people from the '70s, but never anyone from before then, that I can remember," she continues, stepping up onto the curb while she holds her CiD flat in the palm of her hand again, effectively putting it on display. "I'm from... 2007, originally. California by way of Texas, so Brooklyn isn't actually on another planet. I don't know if that's comforting or not. This -" and she shakes the CiD in her hand a bit - "really isn't that hard to get the hang of. It's pretty straightforward after you play around with it a little."
She holds the thing out for him to take, if he wants, and she's willing to exchange verifiable smartphone for shopping bag if it comes down to it.
"So you enlisted to fight in World War Two." How do you even reply? "I doubt exciting is really the right thing to say to that. It's admirable. Better than most of the people my age, in my time."
