Urdin could see the change in Zaffre. She didn't need to explain, Urdin recognized the look, the same one he had learned to hide. She lost someone dear to her, and judging by her remark, that person was a Faunus. He put a hand on her shoulder. He didn't think of anything to say, but he wanted to reassure her she wasn't alone in the world. The gesture felt uncomfortable, and Urdin wasn't really sure if it was appropriate for him to make the gesture.

A concerned thought popped into his head, and before he could consider the idea it blurted out of his mouth.

"Are they alive?" he asked genuine concern falling into his voice. He immediately regreted asking. It wasn't his place to. He had actually began to hope she would lash out at him for it. He felt terrible for prying at what was obviously a painful wound.
