[ Even though they're in opposing factions now, they still share the same Aspect, so Gray has a clue to the state of Caren before she even steps into the room.

[ It may not be much comfort to say that, but maybe Caren can feel that Gray means it. In any case, she won't try to get too close, instead hanging back at a healthy distance.

Gray looks with curiosity and a bit of concern... though she assumes as well that Caren is tough, as Church members seem to be. ]
