Claire sighed audibly, not hiding her disappointment any longer. She turned her attention to the man in front of her. the one who swallowed his own pride and found a way to move things forward. Despite his actions prior, she found that at the very least admirable - at least she wasn't the only one on the station capable of keeping her ego in check.
"I will accept, however." she answered after spending a few seconds thinking, most likely to Enma's dismay. Claire knew this would most likely cause issues down the line, but what else did she have to lose?
"We can't afford to be picky amongst allies. Come with us." the noble told Enma pensively before shifting her attention back to the doppelganger. In retrospect, what she said likely made it clear to Joseph on how desperate she really was, but her facial expression remained eerily neutral.
"Shall we?" she asked as she move her arm outwards, inviting him to lead her to the hangar.
Now that was just weird and she would start losing track on what is even going on here. Now it's also more or else obvious that there's something between two royals, watching how hard they are now trying to isolate themselves from her. Sudden dizziness didn't help to make up her mind and be decisive at this moment. Loyola is trying to concentrate and find mental powers to even start speaking, which she manages after taking quite a deep breath.
— I can afford everything. My conditions don't seem to be met so I have quite a little interest in this. As for allies, he admitted that regent is in fact who's been commanding the Enclave, and so we'd better be negotiating with those who are in fact in command.
As Enma started to speak, she turned to be more confident and relaxed. Things are starting to flow and she gets on her usual line of doing business. She would then take Claire by the hand, pulling her closer.
— The best I can do for you, love, is to resume negotiations tomorrow and see if your cousin will change his stance towards the family union.
Loyola would then slightly push her against the wall, forcing a short kiss onto Duchess's lips.
— Excuse me. Not always that I can hold myself.
She would look at Joseph and mixed Outcast/Royalist guards around them. She had to take over initiative and mess up their cards, maybe this was a little too much, but Enma is just doing her thing.
— Now the question is, do we end this today or try and negotiate tomorrow?
