[Claude had been wanting to speak to Hayame ever since the incident with Sebastian, but finding time where they can discuss anything in some semblance of privacy is nigh impossible. By the time he finds her in a small passage in the roots, slightly secluded, he's tired and unshaven, the thin antler-like branches growing from his head are starting to rival his wyvern's, but he has, at least, finally purged the Zenith from himself courtesy of Jyn and harmonised with Meridian.
He isn't worried for himself. He knows how to keep out of trouble and survive, for however long they even have time left to survive. He is, however, worried about Hayame, and how likely she is to snap altogether under pressure like Dimitri did.
So when he approaches, he keeps a respectful distance at first. He doesn't want her to feel cornered.]

Hey. Can we talk?
