[Artie listens to her, the smoke drifting up in the background, and a piece of debris visible in the corner of the screen when he turns slightly. His expression is worried, but there's sympathy too, as he hears her out. There's a slight look of shock when she mentions not having her partner anymore in such an--not offhand tone, but not the tone he'd be expecting from her right now. But then again, time distortion. Maybe she's not aware of Steve's death yet.

You don't need formal training, Claudia. If I wasn't absolutely confident that you could do the jobs we needed you to do, I'd never have sent you out into the field. [Because he'd never forgive himself if she got killed. He looks a little sheepish, and a little awkward, but he'll do his best with this pep talk even though he's not really good at it.]
You've been through a lot already, so I don't need to tell you you're tough. Even if your fashion sense is just...mm, well, it's something. If you could hack into the Warehouse system, and kidnap me, just to prove that Joshua was still alive, after all those years, I'm sure you can handle anything any inmate can throw at you.
Just--be careful. If you got killed on my watch...I'd never be able to figure out the idiotic computer systems you've created. [He means he cares about you and he wants you to be safe, Claudia..]
