[ The tension's noticed, there and gone as it is, and it doesn't answer anything in Claude's mind. There's a blank waiting to be filled in when he learns to read it, but for now it offers him nothing and even more so when Sylvain shuts his eyes. He starts to withdraw his hand before that handsome face leans against it and he stops, watching.
As it turns out, this also leaves him an easy target when he's raising an eyebrow at that gotcha tone being used on him when they'd already established there was no such things. The deflection in there's clear enough and ready as he is to counter it, he's not at all ready for suddenly being squeezed. A disgruntled noise leaves him at the action though it's entirely all for show. So is the meager attempt at squirming our of Sylvain's grasp since that's the obviously correct response even if there's no actual attempt to escape as the grin he's barely smothering might also give away. ]
Wait, is it too late to get my library back? At least the books don't sass me.
[ That's also overlooking that the sass is a draw. ]
