[Claude is curious about the new set of arrivals, and also a little concerned about who might be here to greet them when they awake, with tensions being what they are right now. Maybe they just need a friendly face, rather than someone who might strongarm them one way or another or ply them with some sales pitch... and maybe he just wants to sate his constant inquisitiveness. It's good to know the comings and goings at the Tree.
Still, what he doesn't expect is to be drawn to one patch of soil by the insistent feeling of -- what he thinks is -- someone with the same Aspect as him. He waits, giving some distance, until he sees hands first start to push out of the dirt, followed by a young woman.]
Ah-- easy, there. [Claude offers her a hand up. Helpfully, he thought ahead to bring her a blanket too, so once she's clear of the dirt enough, he swaddles her in it to ward off any chill.] I haven't seen anyone like that, but it could be they arrived earlier and went on ahead?
[He doesn't want to get her hopes up for nothing, but he can't discount the possibility.]
