He didn’t blame her – that was a first. In fact, for him to acknowledge that it was unfair, that it wasn’t right, was a k i n d n e s s in it’s own right but she didn’t acknowledge it. Speaking her mind freely was still a challenge, the PARANOIA that her mother could still hear her, even all the way in Monaco, was prevalent. “No, no, even if you were being harsh, you’re being kind now and that’s all that matters, oui??” Clara was able to unclench one of her fists to place a hand on his shoulder and pat it gently, “thank you, really Evan.”
Clarabel was likely one of the only people to call Evan kind, he found the word made him want to recoil but at the same time it was her, it wasn’t someone calling him kind as an insult. “Of course...I’m...well I’m always here for you.” He gave a slight shrug with a soft smile. “I don’t think people realize what a pain in the arse Pureblood parents are.”
