She is. She came to my apartment when she arrived.
[ It was by chance that she had stumbled in, but maybe fate had also played a role, considering what they had ended up speaking of. ]
She's from a different path. I had lead Claude's house, but many truths remain between the two.
[ He has no reason to believe they would be any different considering how many facts line up. His hands tighten around Dimitri's as he braces himself, though he's not used to having to speak this much in one sitting. Still, if he doesn't tell him now, he won't be able to continue in good conscience. ]
When I was young, I dreamt often about a young girl speaking to me. I told my father about it but no one else.

[ His hand moves to his chest where the crest seems to glow in response before he chances a glance at Dimitri's face to make sure he's not ready to bolt. ]
It's the heart of the goddess, Sothis.
[ He moves Dimitri's hand to his chest as well, letting him feel it there. The absence of a heart beat, proof that two of them are separated by more than just their societal positions. The unspoken truth is that they will always have this fundamental difference, and he's not sure if Dimitri will want to cope with that realization. ]
