[Claudia couldn't...wouldn't want to understand what it would be like to experience having a corpse for a mother. She's glad that she couldn't remember what her own mother had been like, how the woman had died. It feels like it would be too much to bear, having that loss to recall.]
I see...
[She has no advice to give. Her experience in love was ill-fated, to put it gently.]
He's still young. Hopefully he will come to understand how hard it would be for you, to watch him grow old, knowing you would one day lose him completely.
[Claudia hesitates. Choice is not something that she's known much of, in her lifetime. She's well aware she would have likely repeated history in that regard, had she been strong enough to turn anyone herself, before coming here. That knowledge puts her on edge.]
[It's something Diva hopes for, in all honesty, that Tsurugi will eventually come around and see the light. She keeps Armand's words in her mind, as if to remind her. He had said it would be selfish of her to simply expect him to give up his mortal life when he'd only spent a fraction of it with her.]
It's hard to Claudia. Truly, it is...but he'll let me some day. I know it.
[Or at least that's what she tells herself. Patience has never been a virtue of Diva's and Tsurugi is the most patient she's ever been with anyone.]
[Claudia, though well spoken, has never been one for many words. The things she can express have always been more meaningful in silence. And so, as she had done before, instead of offering any further words of sympathy or advice--Claudia takes Diva's hand once more, holding it between her own.]
[Diva may be a chatty creature but her words aren't always coherent or nice to hear. Well spoken isn't something one could attribute to her. Even so, this quiet understanding the Chiropteran receives from the other woman has her calming, to revel in the silence as well, as her hands are held.]

It is...good of you, to respect his decision.
