Out of character

Claude slumped on top of a tower on the border of Monarey. He didn't know where to go after walking out of the guild, but he found himself in this place. Leaning against the window, he looked up at the pale moon, letting out a sigh as realization struck him. 

"I shouldn't have said all that," he mumbled with a deep exhale, running his hand through his hair. "That is a little out of character." 

As everyone knew, Claude wasn't the type to lash out at others. Be it then or now, he had always acted maturely. The reason no one underestimated him when he took charge of Monarey at Samael's behest. But tonight... he acted like a whiny little boy. 

"Am I becoming Uncle Klaus?" he wondered, snickering in ridicule, knowing that wasn't true. Klaus had nothing to do with his actions. He shouldn't blame his uncle for that. 

"Foolish people," came out a murmur, letting out another exhale.
