[ OKAY HAYAME WHOA GIRL he wouldn't say he knew you were INTIMATE, just AROUND ONE ANOTHER enough for your scents to rub off on one another
which ig if you're rubbing against one another that'd do it
destroys this stupid man for you ]
Mm, I suppose so. What skills he possesses matter less to me than whether or not he treats you well.
[ Certainly, he says the words, but does Set even know what it means to be treated well by a man? As one, he knew to give his wife his loyalty and respect, his ear and heart, his love and gentleness. But to him, men are dastardly things. They are rough and difficult, hungry and harsh. Claude does not seem the type, not compared to men he has known ( men he has both willingly, and unwillingly, experienced — ), but. Still, his wish is that her willing partnership was with someone who treated her very well. ]
I would never stand for it, if he did not. If... to be loved, and accepted, you had to twist yourself too far beyond who you are.
[ Because to him, there is a difference between changing for oneself and changing for another. What he's asked of Hayame was for her own peace and longevity, her own confidence and control. To think that she might transform herself to belong with someone else was — well, it was a fear that Set possessed, extending from his own experiences unto her. A protective sort of fear, that has his hands twisting a little tighter into Claude's shirt; like, at any moment, he might shred it to pieces if he hears anything in her tone or sees anything in her body language that suggests she is,
being coerced,
or hurt.
And then she affirms it. Giving voice to a sentiment he has always wanted her to feel like she could say and embody. It lets him relax, and lift his head to look up at her again. Not quite chagrined, but verging on some trembling, hopeful thing — for her. ]
I do not blame you, for keeping it between you and he. Sometimes, we all want privacy with another, before the world imposes itself into our lives. Taking the time to feel secure with him could only help you, especially considering... well. [ What they both have experienced, in certain ways. And her own world's jinba-human relations, as well. ]

Hayame, I am happy for you.
