[Claude's not fond of Communion at the best of times, but he's most reluctant of all to use it to commune with his fellow Stargazers. Those negative emotions he goes to pains to hide -- his cold anger at Set, his revulsion toward Voryn -- are all but impossible to hide, and he in turn is open to all manner of thoughts, feelings, impressions, that might leak over from the others unimpeded.
Ruby, however, is someone he can't ignore. He should have intervened in Hayame speaking with her before, but as it stands, he's a little too late. Even so, he can't let it go unaddressed.
So he stands on the edge of her Communion, not invited and not wanting to intrude even with their shared Aspect, to say his part:]
after the hayame happenings

Rudbeckia? I'm... sorry for how she spoke to you.
