[ Knowing that it's the truth is bittersweet. Unable to stop them from anymore, the tears begin to really fall in earnest down her cheeks. She had wanted him to be truthful with her from the start - it had been one of the biggest reasons for their fight and a realization she had only come to understand after the fact.
It wasn't because she was trying to be nosey or that this was some gossip she wanted him to fill her in on. Rather, it was just wanting to feel close to him again after feeling like there was some impossible rift that she couldn't cross between them which had been only made worse because of her actions. Knowing that this is where some of it had led to, even if it was on the path to some sort of forgiveness and healing, doesn't make it hurt any less.
She's almost glad that he doesn't reach for her when she begins to cry. To feel his arms around her in that moment would feel like pity that she doesn't deserve and would completely break the damn wide open. When she hears him get up she doesn't turn her head to look, still half expecting him to leave her here. It's a silly thought because of course he doesn't. They might have reached a truce but he isn't cruel. She is surprised when he extends a hand to her though and she gazes up at him with wide, bleary eyes. After a beat she shifts the wyvern in one arm to gently take a hold of his hand and stand up, successfully preventing Claude's fingers being bitten again. ]
That depends. What is Sylvain making for dinner?
[ It doesn't escape her that she probably looks and sounds ridiculous trying to ask that question when she's got tear stains down her cheeks and tears still slipping from her eyes. There's comfort however in knowing that it's just Claude and the wyvern here to witness the worst of it. The corners of her lifts lip weakly as she takes another wipe with her sleeve. She really doesn't want to walk through the streets of Cadens like this and wishes faintly that she had brought a big hat or something to cover up. ]
