Log: Hearts & Minds (Agnes)

[ With the door to his room wide open, Caesar can be seen sitting at his desk, but completely neglecting his work. It would appear his mind has drifted away temporarily, no doubt thinking about the rumours Nash heard of Albert fleeing to Zelant. ]

[ His priorities lie more with finding Cray first, which he plans on doing once she leaves, but he's not going to make her stay back and finish the task either. ]

Of course, Agnes.

[ She smiles gratefully at him, as if his ability to take care of the laundry suddenly means the world to her. It's an odd response. ]

... Thank you, Caesar. ... F-for everything.

[ Seeing her smile again, even if briefly, means even more to him. It gives him relief that she will be alright, whether or not she'll be the same after this incident. He doesn't want her to do any of this alone. ]

Come on, now, that's my line...

[quicksmart]

[ She shakes her head at that, and then goes to the door. ]

Please don't worry about me. ... I will be fine.

[ And she quietly slips out before he can interject, because she wants to be fine and if she leaves now she will be. And asking him about this feeling of emptiness is something that is better saved for another day. ]
