Claire tried to nod to the chef as some form of thankful recognition, but he was gone to work before their eyes could meet. She let her eyes trail back to the interior, a winged girl who had just sat down near her, was now walking towards one wall of the tavern. Claire watched as she went and fearlessly spoke with a stranger. An armed stranger. As the girl seemed to start walking back, Claire jerked her head down. Starring was rude. A friendly voice to her side drew her eyes back up in mere seconds though. The same winged girl was sitting next to her, a warm smile on her lips. "Oh.." Claire muttered mindlessly. "Ah...My name is...Claire." She looked the girl up and down, taking in a few more details now that she wasn't moving. An interesting soul, to be sure. "No I don't mind...I was just hoping for company actually." A sort of lie, but she didn't wan't to push this girl away. She seemed quite nice. Claire looked past her new conversation partner to eye the other girl Historia had spoken to. It seems they were also invited over. Interesting...

Almost as interesting as the one armed girl with a panther. That would be hard to beat though. She walked through the inner workings of the business with some obvious comfort, and went to sit with her...pet. Claire studied them for a moment. Interesting, interesting, interesting. 

"I have some food coming...if you don't mind." She mentioned to Historia. Some found it odd when one person ate in a group of others who didn't, and she didn't know if this winged fellow had any of her own coming or not. Not to mention the shifty third party in their little group. She regarded again the girl who was now sitting next to Historia, they seemed to be busy looking for a chance to ask the barkeep something. Maybe she would wait until they spoke first...
