[Petra has long been acquainted with moving through the shadows, a skill that has proven itself useful time and time again, going so far as to save her life on more than one occasion. Now, its use is not so dire, but it is still to her benefit that when she realizes sleep will not come easily, she is able to slip out of the barracks without notice. She does not go far; she perches herself on the roof of the building and keeps lookout, going over the events of the day in her own head as she tries to process what has happened and what to do next.
It's from her perch that she sees Claire slip out and away; the girl is clearly someone who is used to moving in such a way as to avoid attention, and Petra might not have noticed if she were not an expert herself. For a moment, she considers whether or not to speak out or to follow, and almost stays put to allow the other girl peace, but concern and curiosity eventually win out.
She quietly drops from her own perch and follows at a distance, only approaching when Claire has folded in on herself. She does so with a raised hand, cautious, her voice calm and even.]
I also could not sleep. Are you alright?
[A silly question. She clearly is not, but it is difficult to know what to say in situations like these. That has never been her strong point.]
