"Shh, Miss Tira everything will be all right." Claude says attempting to comfort her as best he can, "I will not let any harm befall you and do not worry about Miss Lora, she doesn't take very well to sudden changes and scenarios which are outside her control. Stay in eye sight Miss Tira because I wish to go back and explain, do not worry they will not harm you while you are this near."
Claude turns around and walks back to the group as he walks in and hears Vance talk about his fathers death. "I apologize greatly on behalf of my nation, our...profession of choice does make diplomacy difficult for those who do not follow that path. I hope that I may allow you to see us in a different light. If I would have known than I would have made my intentions clear, I apoogize." Claude says shaking his head from the shame of his country that he has felt through his entire life.
"Now Miss Lora, I apologize for the suddeness of this desicion but I do not apologize for my actions. I drew no weapon and causesd no harm therefore I feel no guilt fore that action." As Claude spoke he understood that Lora was not going to take this well but he knew he had to go through with it anyways, "I threw us into no situation that we would have already have gotten into because if Miss Tira were in trouble many of us would want to help, that is our nature. I took the situation away, maybe in not the perfect form but I did it without bloodshed." Claude pauses and takes a large breath before continuting due to his understanding that truth hurts but it coming from your own mouth hurts even more. "Miss lora, I understand that I may have acted rashly but I have reason to. Do you believe that I, being a Reygurian, did not go through these same scenarios. I have had multiple encounters with people who judge me" When he says this he lifts up his shirt slightly to show a long scar running across his stomach, "This was from a dagger that was pulled on me in a similar establishment, so don't think I act stupidly with out reason to because I have more than enough reason to see the signs and act apropriately, Miss Lora."
