[ There's a long moment where Claude, for once, has nothing to say at all to Geralt's confirmation. What is there to say? They cannot change either of their pasts. All there is to do, really, is to hope there's a way of preventing it in the future where they are now. Whether that's possible remains to be seen - first they'll have to survive, and then perhaps there will be more to investigate how this could even take place. If the past few years have taught him anything, it's that nothing is impossible.
The salve suddenly being in his hand gets him to blink to focus on it and then up at its previous owner as Geralt stands. Rest. Right. He should probably attempt that or rather, just attempt to look like he'd somewhat tried by the time Sylvain wakes up or returns from whatever he's doing in the shifts they've been trading. That can wait in favor of a smile sent Geralt's way, and though it's as automatic as ever it's a bit on the wan side. ]
You, too. Except - don't follow my lead, and actually do it instead.
[ For what that's worth, and though Claude says it lightly enough: with the salve in hand, that makes it easier to spend his time in lieu of getting any rest treating some of the others in worse shape. If he's not going to sleep, might as well get to work. ]
