[ Her natural inclination is to just leave it at that. Okay! Great. We're done here, right? Except Claire knows that won't resolve anything in the long run and if Kate doesn't at least have a basis for understanding why that was Claire's reaction then she hasn't done her job as a friend right. ]
I should've given you more information from the beginning, because I know you weren't trying to be nasty on purpose about it, and how could you have known it was gonna offend me?
[ That doesn't in any way make it justifiable, what she'd said, and more than anything Claire just wants Kate to think about what she says before it comes out of her mouth, drunk, hungover, scared, or otherwise. Claire makes a noise, kind of like ahh but more of a hiss of air between her teeth, because even though she's told the person most likely to be affected by it that she dated girls and would date girls again, it's still weird to share it with anyone in general. Her whole life has been pervaded by secrecy, so that just seems the logical course of action to take regarding everything, especially following the knowledge that Kate had been the one to make the post. That's just how it's always been with Claire. Walls up. ]
I got offended because - [ Fuck it. ] - I mean, the last person that I had any sort of a relationship with before I got here was a girl. Her name's Gretchen. The whole conversation just felt like you were being really insensitive about the situation, and I get it. You were wasted. And then hungover. But can you see how playing the whole 'oh, I was drunk and made out with a girl and I love you guys but not in a gay way' might come off to someone who's still trying to figure it out?
