Just Why?

[Claude Saint-Clair]

A woman came down to join them. Claude drowned for a bit then as he thought about it she was probably harmless. He was beginning to trust this Nox’s judgement. At least in the sense that he was careful who he let within his home. Had it not been for Elliot sending him here, he had a feeling that Nox wouldn’t have been quite as amicable to having another Atharim that he didn’t know in this building. The notes from Zephyr in his file and the drones spoke enough to that.

He turned to the woman as she spoke and she gave him a smile. ”Casey,” she said, giving her name.

Claude actually returned her smile. ”Claude,” he returned the introduction amicably. Before he turned back to Nox. ”You know, I was planning on coming here, learning how to not die and then throwing this away, but I can’t. It’s a tool - I can’t throw away a tool. And I need to know how to use it too. I’m in for practicing. If I can be here, I will. I’m ready to start now - unless you have your familial duties to attend to.”
