(Everyone processes things differently. Really, Claude isn't sure how he would react if he suddenly found a body in the woods.
... It would probably depend on who he was with, to be honest.
Anyway, he's figured out who else was in the forest with them and he's going to try to grab one of them to pick their brains but first, because he isn't a total jerk,)
I heard what happened. Sorry... that must have been real rough. You need a minute?
The color has yet to fully return to her cheeks, but she isn't actively freaking out at least. Mostly, she looks downtrodden as she shakes her head at him.]
I don't mind talking about it, but... [She didn't do a lot besides scream?] There isn't really a lot to tell. We can talk about whatever you'd like, though.
[Sometimes, you find a corpse and have to drop it off in evidence ASAP. It just be like that.]
(Ah, good, she accepted the invitation. Also I gues?? Maybe they're in the kitchen for the beginning of this? But he's jut going to get some water in a kettle going and make a beeline for the pantry to take out some chamomile. )
Did you know her?
(Just going to... get a feel for the relationship here before he really starts to poke.)

It's okay... You don't have to leave.

I was going to go make some tea. You know, a little something to calm the nerves?
(Except he seems to be fine but like... ok.)
If you wanna talk about what happened, we can. Or not if you'd rather have a distraction.

We spoke a number of times, but we weren't close.
no subject
Still, when we've only have each other and have only been here for a little while, something like this feels much closer.
(They were all supposed to get along and this will no doubt put a huge wedge in everyone's trust.)

[And now there are even less, and it will soon be even worse.]
It's impossible to gain distance from it, even if we hadn't talked to her.
