She tightened her grip on him at his words, listening to the sound of the ARcus ringing almost selfishly wanting to hold onto him so he couldn't pull away and answer its summons. Though she knew Claire would only call again, or worse, come to the door to get him.. no, Rean himself would insist. It was the same before she left Thors to help with the company..as much as she wanted to stay with Rean, as much as she said the company was a lower priority than HIM..and it still was, but at the same time, ...
It just wasn't fair.
So she pulled away to rest her hands in her lap, looking away from him as he answered the ARCUS. Now more than ever she should be supporting him, rather than selfishly wishing he would stay with her, or trying to think of ways to convince him to let her stay with him in Trista. She knew she couldn't help him with his missions, but at least then he'd have someone waiting for him in Trista. Someone who would always stand by him.
The moment Rean answered the ARCUS, Claire's voice was heard: "Rean, the train will be arriving in Roer station in fifteen minutes." Just time enough for him to get stuff (what little there was) together and meet them as it arrived. There was an awkward pause that followed, and more personally she added, "... I tried to argue for more time for you. I'm sorry." Daddy Dearest was having none of it.
