[she makes a face at him, but it's wearily teasing in return.]
I had my moment to be a big fucking baby about it yesterday. [she says, reaching up to rest her hand on top of his. a pause, and then:] Oh - that reminds me.
[and she digs around in her pockets before - handing him a tarot card! it's sketchy and unfinished, but it's of claude on one side, and dimitri on the other. it reads prince/peasant.]
[ahhh... well, her defenses are down too, which means she has to kind of hurriedly look away at that.
she has this little flash of memory, of molly laughing so hard at something he chokes on the alcohol he's drinking, slamming his mug down on the table, and claude will too! hooray!]
I... I'm gonna miss him too, obviously. [she says, a little quieter.] I'm going to fight tooth and nail to keep his stupid fucking coat. Don't tell anybody. I have a reputation.
That was my thought. Maybe I can bribe one of them. [a pause.] Hey, tell me to fuck off if you don't want to talk about it, but are you doing okay with the Byleth... situation?

I'm glad for that much, at least. [ ... ] I am sorry for your loss, Beau. Losing a loved one is.
It's terrible.

I think - I think. [she starts, rubbing at her face.] I think that he would... want me to not be sad about it. So I'm trying.
Thank you, though. [swallows hard.] The best thing I could've done was find who did it to him, and I did. I confirmed it, even.

[ Just, settles a hand on her shoulder, trying for a teasing smile, ] Putting his feelings ahead of yours, even now? You really are generous.

[ Desperately trying hide how sad he feels as he looks at his card. It's only sort of working. ]
Do you know what it means?
no subject
[stop don't be like that]
... Probably something good. If I know him.
no subject
I hope so. [ ... ] I'm going to miss him. We'll need to find someone else to go through all of Chad's alcohol in our dorm.

Claude's at his limit, he can't take anymore emotions. ]

... I voted for her. Even after seeing how many people were broken at the thought of it being her.
no subject
Yeah? Even over Caiman? [she doesn't sound mad. just curious. she has Thoughts about this but.]
no subject
[ Sorry, bro. ]
no subject
... Afraid of what Byleth can do? [she remembers his memory.]
no subject
And she's very good at making killers out of people.
[ Why does she always have an accomplice... ]
no subject
... I don't blame you for it. [a pause.] She might be on the chopping block for next week, now that people know what she did.
no subject
... And, for better or for worse, we seem to be getting good at catching murderers.
