Clarisse has to think about it for a second, and sounds almost surprised when she answers: "Since Guardian."

In her defense, it doesn't feel like it's been five months already. It's felt like it's gone by in a flash, and also like she's known Ellie forever.

And she met Ellie pretty soon after she got here, and they were fooling around soon after that, so it makes sense, but—

damn.
