[ WHERE IS CLAUDE after there's been enough time for him to be tended to laurence will approach ]

Firstly, are you okay? Secondly, what happened to you? Why were you that... that thing?

[ Honestly, he's probably in bed like a sick person. Welcome... His space is very messy, but there is a comfy chair to sit on. ]

Whoa, lots of questions.

[ he has the decency to look a little contrite. ]

Sorry... I just thought that nothing else was supposed to happen after last week. There hasn't been any other signs of anything dangerous besides that stupid goose.

[ Blinks slowly at him. ]

Where did that Goose come from, anyway?

No idea. But it hasn't shown up today, so it doesn't even matter. I'm asking what happened to you.

Me?

[ He looks down at himself, and is a little puzzled. ]

... Oh. I must've made a dumb move in the last battle.

What battle? There weren't any battles here!

[ Looks at Laurence like he's the crazy one. ]

The Borisin attacked the town. I'd rather put it out of my memory too, but it literally just happened.

There haven't been any attacks here at all! And what the heck's a Borisin?

[ ??? ]

Did you hit your head?

No! You're the one who managed to get himself hurt in heaven of all places, not me!

[ stop getting mad at the injured man!!! ]

[ Defensive, ] Injury isn't uncommon in war.

That's what I'm saying. There was no war! It was a perfectly normal day here until you guys showed up bleeding and - as some monster or whatever that was supposed to be!

[ Ah. His brows furrow and he holds his head. ]

... I don't get what you're saying.

I'm saying nothing happened here. I don't know what happened with you guys, but you and Mr. Taair were - he said "diseased," but I don't know how you can even be diseased in heaven.
