[It's very rare that Rose graces the network in Wonderland, only having appeared once since she arrived here. That in and of itself makes this particular video rather curious. The subject at hand, likely one that's playing on everyone's mind but has Rose looking more than a little unsettled, despite her attempts to play at casual.

[ he knows what her reaction signifies if not the full explanation of its context; he knows it in himself and he can guess to its meaning. the thought of anyone knowing what is precious to him, of even holding her name in their mouth makes him fear with anxiety. the thought of her alone and unguarded without him is a distress he can hardly bear minute to minute, let alone for the uncertain eternity they have here.

rose answers and he blinks past that uproar of grief and terror and choking empathy filling up his throat.

(he wants to do both of those things for his daughter, if only he could.

he will.)

klaus glances down and then says, ] Perhaps we have even more in common than originally thought. [ his expression is not unkind; on the contrary, but because he's not about to continue this line of conversation with a veritable stranger nor over the network, he adds, ] It's been a pleasure.
