He should probably be angry. Anyone else would be. Abigail definitely will be, going off of the little he’s seen of her since Claire left. But he simply doesn’t have the strength for it. Between trying to maintain some semblance of normal for Violet, and keeping himself from wallowing in self-pity, he doesn’t have the energy to spare and it shows; dark circles ring his eyes, his hair is currently doing its best to defy gravity, and the shirt he’s wearing has peach puree and snot smeared across the shoulder.

So anger wasn’t in the cards tonight. But if she was looking for forgiveness, that wasn’t happening just because she caught him off-guard. Marion was used to being left behind, and Abigail may have more experience in that area than someone her age should, but every time he had to drag Violet away from the window, where she would wait for Claire every night, his heart just broke a little bit more. He’d trusted Claire, with his heart, and his life, and above all else, with his daughter. And though he knew logically there had to have been one hell of a reason for it, he wasn’t so willing to just give her a free pass and pretend nothing was wrong. Clearly, she still didn’t trust him. Not like he trusted her, at least.

“It’s late, Claire. Can we just, not do this tonight? Please.”

-- & Leaving her family had never been in the cards, until fate made that choice for her. Marion could protect himself, Abigail could protect herself but ultimately Claire was terrified they'd end up killed or that VIOLET would be taken. That thought was what made her leave, made her realize that if she didn't face the threat head on, there would always be that possibility of her family being torn apart. Yet, it seemed she had managed that on her own. "We have to." She counters gently. "If we don't --- it'll never be settled." The change in his apperance hasn't gone unnoticed, the ache to rectify it is strong. The offer of her lip is on the tip of her tongue, but she knows with her absence? He won't do it. He wouldn't trust her again that easily. "I know I was wrong to leave you, and my promises probably don't mean anything but you have to know that i DO love you, as I do Violet. That has and never will change."

He’s not supposed to follow Lilith when they go out like this, and normally he’s pretty good about listening to that rule, he really was. Except sometimes it took a little bit longer, and his mind started to wander. What if something went wrong, what if she was hurt, what if that shadow was actually a person and they were just waiting for the right moment to attack?

Head bows, the selkie appropriately cowed, and he does as bid, swallowing down the curiosity and faint discomfort that always seemed to overtake him in these moments.

“I did wait, but I got worried,” he explained earnestly, heartbeat calming as their fingers twine together. “‘m always worried about you, when you go out like this,” he adds. They’ve been together so long now, and while the violence and murder no longer bother him like it used to, he still hasn’t gotten comfortable with the risk in it all. One bad day is all it takes…

-- & She wants to point out the fact that if something did go south, she could EASILY handle it given her nature. Though she knwos it something that Casper will always be concerned about, no matter how long they've been together or how powerful she is. "I've never come back with broken bones." Not that she could break bones without being able to set them again and heal, but besides the point. Pink brushes across her bottom lip, an eye roll to follow before she's guiding them down another street towards where she'd parked the car. "Next time, Casper I fully expect you to listen."

Wide eyes stare disbelievingly at the form in the doorway, thin fingers grasping the doorframe tightly. Of all the people to show up at her door, so late at night, Claire had gone from the top of the list to the last, in the time she’d been absent.

“You’re back.” Simple statement falls from bitten pink lips, retreating when the older woman approaches. “You didn’t say you were coming back. But you didn’t say you were leaving either, so I guess that makes sense.” Voice is bitter but weak, and Abigail swipes the tears away. She doesn’t want to cry. She’d cried enough over this.

“You didn’t even say goodbye, to any of us. We didn’t know if something had happened to you, o-or if we did something wrong.”

-- & It hurt without reasonable doubt to know that her daughter was stand offish, that she had HURT her daughter so terribly. Yet at the same time, Claire had done what she needed to do at the time. "I'm sorry." Again it comes softly, another step taken closer slowly. Abigail meant the god damn world to her, as did Marion. To leave her FAMILY, had been one of the hardest decisions she's ever made. "Abbie --- I didn't have time." Excuses aren't what ether of them want, surely. "Neither of you did anything wrong, I promise that. I couldn't risk ether of you getting killed."

-- & Eyes flash over black before returning to their natural hue, flickering between the body at her feet and the pup a few feet away. It’s not the first time that Casper’s found her by a dead body, but she doubts it’ll be the last. “Don’t make a sound.” Words fall in demanded state, fluid movements carrying her over the body and towards him before fingers lace into his own; guiding him away from the body. They wouldn’t be there long enough to be linked to the murder should anyone find the body, not that she’d left any kind of trace mind you. “I told you to wait for me.” The appearance of the two deemed nothing short of a couple out for a walk in the dark cover of night, nothing irregular about it.

-- & If her reunion with Abigail was any indication of how much this was going to hurt, Claire could amplify that ten fold when it came to Marion. She’d built up expectations of how it would effect her, but stunned silence? Definitely not what she anticipated. Maybe not so much stunned as, disbelief and hurt. Claire would certainly understand, hell she knows the pain she’s caused but it doesn’t mean she doesn’t still love him. That she WANTED to leave -- she didn’t. But now the threat is taken care of, the family can be back together. Isn’t that what really matters in the end? “Take your time.” She speaks once more, lips twisting upward only to breath in slow, taking a sip from the drink in front of her. What else does she say to him? Nothing until he starts talking.

-- & It’s not like she’d meant to disappear. Things had gotten heated and she needed to lay low, to take the attention off of the FAMILY she’d built up around her. Even if she assumed they could take care of themselves, she didn’t trust those hunting her not to take advantage of her own weakness. But now that she’s back in town, it’s become apparent that leaving was a mistake. Even if it was for everyones safety. The tears lining sapphire have proven just how much of a mistake it was, fingers long to thread through silk locks in comfort for the other; she ACHES to hold her in her arms. “I’m so sorry.” Soft tone, careful step forward. “I didn’t ---- think I’d be gone this long.”
