Solomon saw Claire and Israfil leave, "Tch, how'd they get to become soldiers if they can't even handle a little blood on their hands?"  He took a long look at Blythe, reconsidering his assessment of her.  She was brave, heck, she was willing to stand up to him even after he had used mind control on her and she seemed unfazed by combat.  "I'll have to admit, you're stronger than they are."

Israfil stopped when he realized Claire was following him.  He turned to look at her, bleary-eyed.  He tried to blink back the tears.  "W-we're soldiers...I mean...I should have been prepared for it.  I guess simulations are different, aren't they?  B-but we're defending our country, defending our families...I'm sorry!" Israfil suddenly bowed.  "I didn't know what you were feeling, and made light of your situation!"
