[ Somewhere, in some other world - or however this works - Claude can feel his other adopted little sister rolling her eyes at him, hands waving and telling him For someone good with their words, you somehow always know how to ask the wrong thing! Which is how he feels now, hearing Kainé's answer to what had seemed like an innocent enough question. Perhaps he should've guessed that wasn't the case considering what she told him about needing to cover up, about the losses she's suffered, and now ending up here even more uncertain. ]

I can relate to not being welcome where you live. [ He says this slowly, aware that there's clear and vast differences in their experiences from what she's described, but still: they have this one unfortunate thread in common nonetheless. ] It's pretty awful to feel like an outsider where everyone else gets to call home, all because someone decided you don't fit in there.

[ Which is maybe a whole lot of assumptions on his part, basically from his own experiences. Claude closes his book and looks across at her again with a wry smile. ]

It doesn't seem like that'll be the case here. At least not from what I've seen so far, so... I suppose getting dropped in here has that going for it.
