No, rather than just being serious about it-- Claude is bothered about this. It's so clear to see. It's strange in its own way, because Ange doesn't think she has often seen Claude bothered before. Not in this way. She has seen him annoyed about this place, but never personally worried in this sort of way. The closest they got was back when they were chasing down that strange thing that was going on in town, when he started insisting on protecting her.
Ange is quiet, observing that odd look on him for a moment, but then she makes a decision. She doesn't like seeing this on him. And if it's something important enough to get Claude this worried, if it's something that dangerous for him - then she wants to know.
He's not the only one who can do some protecting here, after all. ]
Alright. Come on.
[ The girl reaches out until she's grasped a hold of his hand, starting to use that connection to drag him along down the street. ]
My place is really close to here, and I doubt my housemates are in. They're way too annoyingly social for it. But, just in case.. [ She raises her free hand as they walk, and as it starts to glow with a golden light, butterflies made out of that same light slip out, fluttering in the air. They hover for a moment, and then take off, fluttering in all sorts of directions. ]
Surveillance. [ She explains. ] They'll keep an eye on them for me, and let me know if any of them seem to show any signs of coming home.
[ Though Ange says it all pretty casually, there's a reason she's explaining it in the first place.
This seems so important to Claude, and she wants to show him - in her own way - that she's taking it just as seriously as he is. That she's making sure his secret will be protected, if he wants it to be. No housemates stumbling in on their secret talk. ]
