Clara waves her hand to brush away most of the apology, not taking any offence from the almost incident.

"It's fine! I would have been surprised too if someone just popped up right next to me like this." She tries her best to not have hard feelings. Which is why she takes the offered hand to give a shake, her 'touch' soft and cool after she gives herself a second to become more tangible to the world. "I'm Clara! It's a pleasure to meet you, Ringer."

The offer to help her find her missing friend is a pleasant surprise. Not what she expected so soon from a first meeting. "Are you sure you want to help a silly ghost like me look for an old friend of mine? I thought you were studying and I would hate to interfere with your schooling."

Education is important after all. She doesn't want to be the cause of a poor test score or a rushed project.
