Claudia adores Jupe. She's always glad to have him around and share all her new findings with him! And since he helps her take care of herself, she tells him she'd be willing to help him with anything. But he always declines and never tells her much.
"You're weird, you know that? Anyways, brought you this."

Jupe is Claudia's friend who also lives in the desert. He assists her at times and brings her meals to make sure she eats (she gets so hyperfocused that she forgets to). The two seem to really care about each other but their individual lives are very disconnected. Jupe is honestly thankful that she's not involved in any of his craziness.
"Ahem- it's my turn to use the lab.. you're 5 minutes past your end time."

These two def get in overly heated conversations that boil down to rocks vs bones. Claudia doesn't like being one-upped so she's always in a competitive feud with Xiu-- but honestly life would probably be easier if they just worked together. In any case she really doesn't hate Xiu and wouldn't mind trying to work with her if the time comes.
Rivals. They argue on whether archaeology or geology is more important, often competing for sites to investigate and unearth. In the situations they manage to put aside their differences and work together, the two make great progress in each of their studies. Thankfully the rivalry isn't too bitter -- Xiu Lan respects Claudia and vice versa, so collaborations aren't a rare occurrence.
