Étoiles tilted her head at the words that left her mouth. The way she spoke about Minerva... The girl got the gist that Claudia didn't like their leader one bit. Étoiles had never met the woman, so she had no idea what to think of her. But it appeared she would have an opinion soon enough.

When Claudia announced her leave, the girl stiffened. What if it was a soldier from the Parlaiment? They had already wounded one Rebel today, Étoiles couldn't let them hurt another. But as she stood up, she winced at the pain increasing on her foot. She made a small noise and sat down. "B-Be careful, Claudia."

Étoiles sat back as the woman exited the building to confront the stranger. Worry crept up her spine at the thought of her friend getting hurt. "W-Will she be okay...?" she murmured quietly, half asking herself and half asking the open air.
