( Honestly everyone here has been kind so far? Even to Claude who is so used to being the most judged person in the room. It’s almost like if you give people a fair chance, they’ll prove themselves to be good people........ wild. )

The whole point is to get it dirty. ( Or keep it as a decorative thing which isn’t really his style. He’d rather things be practical. Reaching into his coat pocket, he pulls out a nice little handkerchief! It probably has a fancy R monogrammed on it or something because social class. He’ll offer it out to Abel though. ) Here, wipe those tears away.

( He’s just going to roll with everything now because he’s accepted this is just how things are going to be. This Father Abel will be dramatic and Claude will just vibe with it! )

Really, that isn’t necessary. ( He’s just a humble guy here, ) But if you insist, then I’ll hold you to it.

( If promised something good, he’s going to hold that person accountable. )
