[Claude Saint-Clair]

Claude had of course upset her a little bit. Well maybe. It was hard to tell. It probably wasn't his fault, but not talking about it probably was. Still she listened to what he had to say. Even so, she was distracted. Nora had a lot on her mind, and he'd just added to that. At the very least though, she had something to look at, and a field mission to boot. It would be a dangerous one as well.

He didn't stand up or answer right away when she spoke. Being able to channel just made things complicated. It was something they could both do without. He sighed as she he prepared to answer her. "Yeah - you go to the Brotherhood and I'll try to find this Nox Durante. Just... he looked at her. "Stay safe. I'll do the same."

Claude did stand then, getting himself another drink of water. "Think I'm going to turn in. Can't do much of anything until the migraine is gone. If you need me, wake me. I mean it." he said, although he knew she probably wouldn't. Right now, all he could do was rest up.

Claude went to Nora and wrapped her in a hug. She wasn't much for these types of affections, but she usually tolerated it from him. "I'm really glad you're here, Nora." There were words unspoken in his statement. Claude knew she had to go through what he was going through alone. He was glad she was here to help him with it. Claude gave her a final squeeze, and let go. "Good night - I'll see you tomorrow."

Claude went into his room and turned off the light before crawling into bed. He doubted sleep would come soon, so he just lay in the dark. When sleep didn't come, he pulled out his wallet, dimming the brightness and looked up Almaz and Kallisti. A fight club or a burlesque club. Neither were anything he was interested in or would be comfortable being at. Oh joy.
